We want to thank you for your continued patience and support as we begin the next phase of improvements funded through our $36 million bond referendum. If you've noticed construction equipment, rerouted foot traffic, or changes in pick-up and drop-off routines, you're seeing progress in action. Currently, our teams are working on upgrading sprinkler systems to enhance campus safety and protect our facilities, along with repaving and improving our parking lots to ensure smoother traffic flow and better accessibility for all families. Our goal is to create a safer, more efficient, and welcoming environment for every student and family. Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to make meaningful strides forward. Together, we're building a stronger school community, one project at a time.
