There is NO SCHOOL for students this Friday, October 16th, as district staff participate in a Professional Learning Day.

This is the first of two added full days off for students under our revised calendar, which reduces the number of half days from 11 to 6. The second added day off is Friday, April 23rd.

🐾 Bulldog Points of Pride!🐾

Here’s another story that becomes even more meaningful when we follow a group of students from one grade to the next.

In Spring 2025, as 7th graders, 57.4% of this cohort met the M-STEP English Language Arts proficiency standard.

One year later, as 8th graders, 78.7% met the PSAT 8/9 Reading & Writing benchmark.

That represents a 21.3 percentage-point increase in the percentage of this cohort meeting their respective grade-level literacy standard or benchmark!

It is important to note that these are different assessments—M-STEP ELA in 7th grade and PSAT 8/9 Reading & Writing in 8th grade—so this isn't an apples-to-apples measure of individual student growth. But it does show a very encouraging trajectory as this group of Bulldogs progressed from one grade to the next.

And at 78.7%, nearly 8 out of every 10 students in this cohort met the 8th-grade Reading & Writing benchmark.

That's progress worth recognizing, an achievement worth celebrating, and another reminder of what can happen when our students, staff, and families keep working together.
