Standard student and classroom supplies (pencils, crayons, notebooks, paper, glue, scissors, etc.) will be provided for all elementary and middle school students. Middle school students will also continue to be provided with 1:1 devices. This program started in the 2023-2024 school year, and we are excited to be able to continue it.

If you would like to request a backpack and/or water bottle for your child, please contact the main office of your child’s school.

For families with high school students, with many different course offerings, applying a universal supply list is difficult. ​Please be on the lookout for additional information from the school​ regarding supplies. Students will continue to be provided with 1:1 devices.

The Salmon Spring Field Trip was so much fun! Students visited Voights Creek Hatchery in early April. While there, they enjoyed a guided tour of the hatchery, learned about water quality, fed salmon in the big tanks, and even released a fry into Voights Creek!
