A Message from Principal Rickbeil
In this week’s video, Mr. Rickbeil talks about report cards, which will be sent home with students on Monday and available on Educate on Tuesday. This year, we will be printing paper copies of the report cards and there are some formatting changes that will adjust the look of 3rd-8th grade report cards. Have a wonderful weekend!
