Information concerning H1N1
can be found here (click here for Spanish).  The purpose of the letter is to inform parents that H1N1 is present in our community - including our schools - and that we are treating it the same way we treat all cases of influenza.


We  Believe:

  • that all students are capable of meeting or exceeding state standards in all disciplines given adequate time and instructional support.
  • that it is the shared responsibility of teachers, staff, administrators, students, parents, and the community to ensure learning and social success for all students.
  • that the collaborative efforts of our school community will enable each student to become a responsible, contributing citizen.
