No School on Friday, September 2 & Monday, September 5

Fifth grade RF/CC students got to enjoy a pep rally for band class on Monday! The Lincoln High School students pictured each demonstrated an instrument.

School drop-offs and pick-ups can be messy! Take your time, stay alert, and obey the rules of the road. A safe and orderly process makes the day start and end on a positive note for both students and parents!

A reminder that school starts for our Preschool Opportunity classrooms on Wednesday, August 31st. Morning classes run from 9:05-12:15 and our afternoon classes run from 12:15-3:30.
Any students riding the bus will be receiving their bus pick up and drop off times in the mail early this week as well as your child's ID tag to attach to their backpacks.
We are excited to see everyone on Wednesday!
Reminders about drop off

Pictured are Mrs. Dewey, Mrs. Nettestad, and Mrs. Stavig on the first day of school! It's great to see so many smiling faces back in our hallways!

The countdown is ON! We are so excited to welcome students back for another great school year! Staff have been busily preparing their classrooms, brushing up on instructional skills, and revisiting the always-important-topic of customer service! See you soon!

A new app for parents of bus-eligible students is coming soon!

If you are the primary household of a bus-eligible student, please check your email for more information.
