A Note About Morning Drop-Off

We are so excited to welcome our Cubs back to school on August 25th.

For the first four days of school, parents are welcome to walk their child into the building and to their classroom.

Beginning Monday, August 31, parents will no longer be permitted to walk students to their classrooms. We know this can feel like a big transition, but it is an important step in helping our Cubs build independence, confidence, and school routines.

If you are using the car line, you can stay in your vehicle and our staff will help your child out of the car and safely inside. Multiple staff members will be available each morning to help students get where they need to go and make it safely to their classroom!

Thank you for partnering with us as we help our Cubs become more independent and successful at school!

Today, Monday, August 17, all district offices and school buildings will be closed to the public until 12:00 p.m. as our teachers and staff come together for our Back-to-School meeting and prepare for the year ahead.

We are so thankful to have our teachers and staff back together. The start of a new school year gives us a chance to reconnect, refocus, and look ahead to all the opportunities waiting for our students.

Let the 2026–2027 school year begin! 🐻

Our Cubs had a blast climbing, sliding, exploring, and playing with friends on their field trip! There were lots of smiles, laughter, and energy as students enjoyed a special day of fun together.

Check out some of our favorite moments from the adventure!
