Check this out! What a difference! In preparation for the 100th anniversary of the main building's construction, as well as just for a general spring cleaning, we had 304 SoftWash clean up the sidewalks and stonework on the main building. Cam was great to work with, very professional and works very quickly. So if you need anything powerwashed, please consider 304softwash.com and contact Cam today.

Attention Polar Bear Nation: Starting tomorrow morning we are having the stonework on the main building as well as sidewalks power washed. This means building use and access will be limited by the work crew. Hopefully, if all goes well, power washing will be complete by Friday evening. Seniors may want to wait until Saturday if you are taking pictures.

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Staff,
I'm writing to let you know about an important initiative to enhance our school's safety. We have partnered with Critical Response Group (CRG) to create Collaborative Response Graphics (CRGs). These are specialized, highly detailed maps designed to help emergency responders quickly and effectively navigate our school building during an emergency.
On-Site Visit for Accuracy
To ensure these graphics are as accurate as possible, a CRG specialist will be visiting our school on Wednesday, December 3rd to confirm the details of our floor plans. This specialist will be easy to identify by their ID badge, a CRG shirt, and an iPad. For your peace of mind, they will be escorted by a member of our school staff at all times. This visit is simply to verify our building's layout and will not cause any disruption to the school day.
We believe this is a significant step forward in our commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for everyone.
