In order to prepare for device collection and to take care of other year end matters, the tech department is going to cut off device repairs on Thursday, May 14th. If students need a laptop repaired after May 14th, they will need to hold on to it and turn it into the repair line at device collection. Please announce this date to students.

Attention middle school parents and students! Your devices will be collected Thursday, May 21st. Please make sure you bring your device, case and charger. You will be charged a replacement fee if not turned in.

We are proud to celebrate our April Warriors of the Month! 🎉

Taysom, Blake, and Kayden each represent what it means to live the Warrior Way every day—being respectful, responsible, ready, and safe.

Taysom is a strong leader who goes out of his way to help others and always brings a positive, respectful presence to those around him. Blake shows responsibility and kindness in everything he does, supporting his peers and taking ownership of his learning. Kayden consistently comes prepared, works hard, and treats everyone with respect, making him a great role model for others.

We are so proud of these students for the example they set at our school. 💙💛 #WarriorWay #WarriorStrong

Mrs. Banson’s class had a fantastic time at Baby Animal Days at the Burley Straw Maze on Thursday! 🐐🐥 Students loved getting up close with the animals and enjoying a day full of hands-on learning and fun outside the classroom.

💙💛 Great night with our incoming Warriors last night! Families and students explored our 🏫 and classrooms, opened lockers 🔓, enjoyed some yummy cotton candy, and got their first Warrior shirts. A win for all, so many lighter hearts and joyful celebrations after conquering one of the biggest fears of an incoming 6th grader: opening the combination locker. We are excited to see these students again in the fall! 💛💙
