Superintendent's Message - February 2025

As we enter the second month of the calendar year, we continue to focus our efforts on elevating excellence in order to prepare our students to demonstrate academic success when they take the state and national assessments later this spring.  More specifically, we continue to bring attention to the wildly important goals (WIGS) approved by the Governing Board that are related to achievement in math, improving attendance rates, and growing our enrollment.
