The renovations are really coming together! 🤩

Again, thank you to all who are making this possible!

Edit: We want to clarify that the funding for our current building updates and renovations was made possible by the passing of a previous building (bond) referendum. These funds are designated specifically for construction, updates, and renovations.

An operating levy is completely different—it covers day-to-day school operating costs such as staffing, classroom supplies, athletic programs and extracurricular programs. Funds from a building bond referendum cannot be used for operating expenses.

We appreciate our community’s support in helping us maintain safe, modern, and effective learning spaces for our students!

Link Crew mentors and teacher advisors, Mr. Dirks and Mrs. Schenk, have been hard at work for the last two weeks. Leaders have been in training and preparing for the year to come. Yesterday, they welcomed the incoming 7th graders at orientation!

Link Crew leaders help mentor the incoming 7th grade class throughout the school year, engaging them in a variety of lessons such as school skills, academic support, and social/emotional learning.

This November, our district will ask voters to consider an operating levy referendum. If approved, the Ranger Nation Strong Foundation plan would provide $1.5 million annually for ten years to stabilize the budget and protect quality education for our students.
