Wildcat families…As many of you know we are in the planning phase for creating a Community School. The purpose of the Community School is to better serve you, our families, and our community in the ways you feel are most needed. This will not replace the fabulous school we already have. It will allow us more opportunities for the success of our students. We are starting our input sessions with student interviews and will then move on to doing the same with parents. We will add this input to what we already have; ie. snowboarding club, fly fishing club, mentoring etc. Please look for a permission slip for student interviews coming home tomorrow, Friday Feb. 26. We will begin interviews, Wednesday, January 31. We ask that you return the permission slips no later than Tuesday, January 30.
If you would prefer to respond to the permission slip electronically, please access this link.

Respectfully,
Susan Keeler, Community School Planning Coordinator
Jas Wilkinson, Community School Planning Parent Liaison
