Dear Parents,
The time is finally here to kick off the 26-27 school year! I hope you all had an enjoyable summer! We had a great summer in the Vance household. I loved every minute of having both of our daughters under our roof for the summer, I know these days are numbered!
While Summer is a lot of fun, I’m excited to get back into a routine and get the school year started. Please see below for registration information. I know there are a lot of steps involved in the registration process so please reach out if you have any questions or need any support through the process. Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education, we look forward to partnering with you to help them achieve their goals!
Go Hawks!
Jen Vance
Superintendent
