Here is the Return to Learn recommendations that were presented to the Board tonight. The District wanted to make sure that our options were acceptable in order to continue with planning for the fall semester. We will continue to provide updates as the District Leadership Team works through this process. This is a fluid process where we have to be willing to make changes even during implementation to ensure our students receive the instruction they need. We will send updates and information via our website, app, and social media pages as we continue to work through this process. Thank you all for your support during this time. https://5il.co/ibrd

Attention Parents: We are asking each family to complete a survey that will assist us in planning for this next school year. Click on the link below to access the survey. You only need to complete one survey per family. If you do not have internet access, please stop by the District Office and complete a paper survey. This survey does not lock you into a decision for the next school year, and you still need to register your student(s) before school starts. This survey will close at 5 p.m. on Monday, and we thank you for completing the survey. Two names will be chosen from those who complete the survey and registration fees will be waived for this upcoming school year.
