• On Tuesday Oct. 10th, our Governing Board decided to formally begin exploring options for our 6th grade students, including the option of moving our 6th graders to a program located on the Golden West campus. Our initial research and staff conversations have identified some areas of potential benefit and some challenges we would need to address as we move forward. 

    We are committed to a thoughtful, well-planned process that is grounded in community, family and staff input and is aligned with modern scholarship. 

    Here is what you can expect in the weeks ahead: 

    • Community meetings at each school site with a designated conversation about grade level reorganization.
