2016-17 annual district calendar

United Way Campaign
The district kicked off its annual United Way Campaign on September 15. The goal of the United Way is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of social issues in our community through three focus areas: education, income and health. Information along with pledge forms will be distributed at all buildings by the principals with completed forms due back to the business office by October 20. For those contributing via payroll deduct, the first deduction will be made November 6. Please consider giving to the United Way and join the LIVE UNITED movement to strengthen our community.

As a district, we strive to communicate effectively with our students, families and peers. Here are some recent great ways our schools have communicated with their communities - well done!
