Happy National School Psychology Week! Thank you to all the school psychologists who support our students. Your work makes a difference every day!

We are excited to announce that starting November 18th, our school lunch program will transition from Arbor Management Inc. to Whitsons Culinary Group. This change aims to enhance the quality and variety of meals available to our students.
A new link to access lunch menus will be available on our district website as well as each school's website. You can find the link below, which will be active starting November 18th.
