A Message from Principal Bivens

We are off to a great start for the 25/26 school year!

Students are learning our routines/procedures by following PAWS (Practice your Personal Best, Act Responsibly, Work and Play Safely, Show Respect). When showing PAWS or one of our 8 Keys of Excellence, students can earn a PAWSitive Referral. Please help us by promoting following PAWS and the 8 Keys of Excellence (Integrity, Failure to Leads to Success, Speak with Good Purpose, This Is It, Commitment, Ownership, Flexibility, Balance)!

Please reach out to the office if you have any questions and/or clarifications!

Proudly Serving as YOUR Principal!
