Stopping the K-5 Summer Slide- Fun Ways to Keep Kids Learning

Summer is a great time for students to rest and recharge, but it is also important to keep their minds active. We encourage families to help students stay sharp by reading regularly, practicing math skills, exploring educational activities, visiting the library, and taking advantage of learning opportunities in the community.

For Parents

Welcome to our district! We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop so you can find information on the go.
