Current Happenings

St. Baldrick's at Bear Tavern

Brave BT Students will be shaving their heads on March 13th for St. Baldrick's. If you want to support this awesome cause or join the BT team, more information can be found HERE. So far, we've raise over $6,500 dollars and we are on our way to our goal of $28K but we can't do it without you.

If you or your child doesn't want to shave your heads, another way to get involved is Scrunchies and Sunnies for St. Baldrick's. Both are on sale in the main office for $2 each. All proceeds will go to the St. Baldrick's Foundation.

Kindergarten Registration

Kindergarten Camp Letter

Due to continued growth in the district and fluctuations in enrollment, the School District may need to adjust attendance zones and/or school assignments before the start of the school year. As a result, the school listed at the time of registration may change. Families will be notified of any changes to their child’s school assignment before the start of the school year.
