🏐 Battler of the Week: LAYLA CRONIN! 🏐
Layla stepped up big this past week — staying calm and confident behind the service line when her team needed her most. With several clutch aces, she helped swing momentum and take control of close sets! 💪🔥
Her coach shared:
“Layla is a very coachable and a disciplined athlete who’s always eager to improve. She brings nonstop hustle, a never-give-up attitude, and the hardest, most energizing high fives on the team!” 🙌
Layla, your focus, positivity, and drive to get stronger every day make you a true Battler. Congratulations! ❤️🖤

Good morning Battlers! Please be sure to send your child with hats, gloves, and a winter coat! A sweatshirt isn't enough unless it's 50 degrees or higher. We always go outside for recess unless it's zero or below. Thank you!
Hello HS students and parents! Please see the picture of the note that Mr. Jensen gave to each student last Monday, outlining the updated rules regarding open lunch/open campus for seniors. Students will be notified first thing Monday morning and included in lunch count. If you need help accessing the student or parent portal to track student grades, please contact the front office. The other picture is a reminder of semester tests being optional if all guidelines are met. Thanks!
Hello Battlers! This is a reminder that you can apply for free and reduced meals at any time during the school year! If for any reason your income changes, please apply or re-apply for benefits. Federal furloughed employees qualify for this benefit. If your current income will qualify you for a benefit, that benefit is valid for the whole school year. Please contact the business office for an application. Thank you!
Our students have been hard at work, and it shows! Congratulations to our First Quarter Academic All-Stars!
