Updated 2026-2027 School Calendar

We appreciate your understanding and encourage families to review the updated calendar when planning for the upcoming school year.

We are excited to share an incredible donation to our Middle School Technology Education program!

Mrs. Yergey received an xTool F2 Ultra Laser Engraver and AP2 Air Purifier for her classroom from the 1% For the Makers xTool Program—one of only 62 schools and nonprofits worldwide selected for this opportunity so far!

After working with an older model laser engraver in her classes, Mrs. Yergey applied for this program to expand access to innovative and creative tools for our students. This award recognizes the impact of her program, especially the focus on hands-on learning, real-world skills, and reaching a wide range of students.

We can’t wait to see how this new equipment enhances learning in the classroom! Check out the unboxing and stay tuned for more!

A huge thank you to xTool for this generous donation and for supporting our students’ creativity and innovation!
