Beginning Thursday, October 15, the entrance to the south parking lot at the high school from the west (Raider Drive) will be closed off due to underground sanitary/storm sewer work. The south parking lot and Memorial Field can be accessed from the Division Street entrance during that time. Access is anticipated to be restored at the end of the day on Friday, October 16.

Elementary K-5

There are a number of ways for parents/caregivers to become involved with their child’s school. Being a parent/caregiver volunteer is probably the most active way to become involved. A form will be provided for parents/caregivers to volunteer their services.

All parents/caregivers are members of our Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO). Meetings will be held 7-8 times per year to discuss areas of interest. An agenda will be published and all parents/caregivers are welcome to attend. Parents/Caregivers may contact their representative or the school to provide input on topics of interest. The goal of the PTO is to support schools through parent/guardian involvement. Parents/Caregivers also have opportunities to attend open houses, parent/caregiver/teacher conferences, and other school functions throughout the year.

PTO Purposes:

Advisory capacity to school administrative staff.
Forum for discussion of school policies/procedures.
Vehicle for communication of school program/curriculum to parents/caregivers.
Promotion of all parent/caregivers or student programs/activities.
Identifying and communicating needs to the community.
Not a forum for discussion of personnel issues.
