Welcome Back!

Dear parents and guardians,

I hope this summer has given you the opportunity to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories. As we prepare to start the 2026-2027 school year, excitement is building across our district.

Our teachers and staff have been working hard getting classrooms ready, planning engaging learning experiences, and preparing to welcome students back. We look forward to seeing our hallways filled with energy and enthusiasm once again.

Whether you are new or returning to the district for another year, we are grateful you’ve chosen our school community and we look forward to helping your student learn, grow, and thrive this school year and beyond.

You’ll find important back-to-school information on this page to help your family start the year with confidence. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your school office.

We look forward to seeing you soon and wish you a successful start to the new school year.

Sincerely,

Dr. Scott Faul
