K-2 virtual families- If you picked up a red and black iPad from us, please plan to bring it back Thursday or Friday after school, 3:30-4:30. We apologize, but the old iPads will not access Brightspace as we had hoped. We will trade your old iPad for a newer iPad that does work.
They say rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck. I say it also holds true for the first day of school! Students and families were ready, respectful, and responsible all day today. Thank you for your help on our first day back to school! #bettertogether #RedRaiderNation
School has started! We had a wet first morning, but everyone is ready for a new year!
