Because of the amazing amount of positive feedback we received from our families and staff, we will once again be starting our 2026-27 school year with Success Conferences for our students and their families.

During the first two days of school, students and families in grades TK-3 will be invited to participate in a conference with their teacher. This is an opportunity for the classroom teacher to meet individually with students and their families.

In these Success Conferences, teachers will:

• Talk with families about their child’s strengths and what works best when they struggle.

• Introduce the student to the classroom environment

• Answer any questions families may have.

For the 2026-27 school year:

• Booster Club will host a FREE Back-to-School BBQ for families to get any needed information, meet our new families, and celebrate the 2026-27 school year on Friday, August 28, @ 5 p.m. 

• Students will not attend school on Wednesday, September 2, or Thursday, September 3, except for a Success Conference scheduled with their teacher on ONE of these days.

• Families will receive an invitation to sign up for their Success Conference date and time via a ParentSquare message sent on August 25.

• All students in grades TK-3 will be in their classrooms together beginning Friday, September 4.

• There will be no open houses for elementary schools in August.
