Coach Higgs' Athletic Performance Training for the week of March 30-April 2, 2026.
Just a reminder that we will have two P.A.W. Meetings on Wednesday, March 25th.
Info from our previous post:
At our most recent Regular School Board Meeting (3/11/26), Mr. Williams shared several topics with the board that can also be discussed at the upcoming P.A.W. Meetings if attendees would like to cover those topics.
A "P.A.W. Meeting" is a Parent & Patron Advisory Workshop. It is an open meeting for anyone who would like to be involved with our school district.
If you have concerns or suggestions, we encourage you to attend one of these meetings. The P.A.W. Meetings are a great opportunity to ask questions, receive answers, and share your input.
