Hard work is happening every day in our 7th grade classrooms! Our dedicated teachers, Mrs. Soltero, Mrs. Davis, Ms. Turner, and Mr. Balconi, are bringing learning to life across ELA, Science, Social Studies, and Math.
Students are actively engaged through multimedia, hands-on activities, and meaningful lessons that challenge them to think, collaborate, and grow. It’s inspiring to see our Bulldogs so focused, curious, and involved in their learning!
Keep up the great work, Bulldogs! ❤️🖤

As we continue to prioritize the academic growth and well-being of our students, we want to share an important update regarding our district's schedule. After careful consideration and Governing Board approval, we will be transitioning back to a traditional 5-day school week beginning in the 2026/2027 school year.
We understand that consistency is vital for families planning their schedules. Please note that for the remainder of the current 2025/2026 school year, there will be no changes. We will finish this academic year on our existing 4-day schedule, with classes held Monday through Thursday.
What to Expect
We are dedicated to making this transition as smooth as possible for all families. Over the coming months, we will be working behind the scenes to adjust bus routes, meal services, and staffing schedules to support a full week of operations starting in August 2026.
We believe this move will strengthen our community and offer our students the robust support system they need to thrive. We are here to answer your questions and support you through this change. Thank you for your continued partnership in making our schools a welcoming place for everyone to learn and grow.
On February 5th, we turned back the clock—teachers dressed (and acted!) like they were 100 years old, and the students had an absolute blast celebrating right along with them. The year is flying by… can you believe we’re already 100 days in? So much laughter, excitement, and fun celebrating 100 days of learning together!✨
