📚 Meet their teacher

We know our new school hours may be an adjustment for some families, and we wanted to share a few reminders to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
🕖 Spartan Start (Optional Before-School Program)
7:15–8:15 AM
Students who need to arrive early are welcome to attend Spartan Start at no cost.
🍎 FREE Breakfast for All Students
8:15–8:55 AM
Every student can enjoy a free breakfast before the school day begins.
🏫 School Day
9:00 AM–4:00 PM
One of the reasons for the updated schedule was to better accommodate our rural community. Many of our families travel on dirt roads, and during rain, snow, or icy conditions those roads can become difficult to navigate. A later start provides a little more daylight and flexibility, helping students and families travel to school more safely during inclement weather.
We understand that any schedule change can take some getting used to, and we truly appreciate everyone's patience as we begin the new school year. If you have any questions about Spartan Start or our new schedule, please don't hesitate to contact the district office—we're happy to help!
💙 We can't wait to welcome our Spartans back for an amazing school year!
