🐾🎒 Pre-K Visit to South Kindergarten!🎒🐾 Even though the leap to Kindergarten isn't as far for our South kiddos, they still had excitement in their eyes as they explored the big Kindergarten classrooms! From discovering new learning spaces to meeting future teachers, their smiles said it all. These early visits help ease the transition and spark curiosity for the journey ahead. 💚🌟

Sorry for the late notice, but Route C will need to run snow routes today due to storm damage.

Due to the power issues today at South School, we have to test the water. During this time, South School will be under a boil advisory until further notice. We will have bottles of water for our students and staff at school for drinking water. All toilets will be working as well.

South Elementary Field Day is tomorrow, 5/20! Please send students with sunscreen on, dressed in cool, quick-drying clothes and tennis shoes (no swimsuits). Let teachers know if you do not want sunscreen reapplied. If weather doesn't permit outdoor activities, events will be held indoors.

Power has been restored at South School.

South School is still out of power. There phones remain down. Please use email to communicate with school. We have water at the school for students and are using battery lights right now. Everyone is safe!

📚 The regular school year may be winding down, but our teachers are already gearing up for an exciting summer! Summer school starts Tuesday, 5/27, and preparations are in full swing. ☀️ Don’t forget—enrollment for summer school is still open! Students will enjoy learning and loads of fun, including extra outdoor activities, swimming pool visits, and so much more. 📸Pictured: Teachers at our recent Summer School Professional Development session!
