Help us thank our child care providers, including our Shining Stars Directors and assistants, as well as our partners at Kids Collective. They each contribute to the beginning of an exceptional experience for our littlest Crusaders!

Thank you for all you are doing this week, Teacher Appreciation Week, to celebrate our teachers and staff! We see the treats, gifts, and messages happening all over our district and it is a great reminder that our school community is the definition of exceptional.
Help us celebrate our teachers one more time as we share our Standing Ovation Award nominees! These staff were nominated by parents, students, and colleagues as deserving of acknowledgement for specific efforts.









Enrollment for returning students is now open for the 26/27 school year!
