To finish out the trip, the band and choir stopped at Enchanted Springs ranch where they got to see some longhorns, pet a longhorn named Woodrow, eat a delicious BBQ dinner, watch a cowboy do some roping and whip tricks, and did some line dancing! Was a great way to finish out the trip. Everyone is now on the bus and headed north. See ya tomorrow night McGregor!
Perfect for St. Patrick's day. 1st grade door art

We are trying something new for our families and community members to view our basketball games and other activities from the comfort of home, or on their devices. Home basketball games can be viewed on the new platform called HUDL.
You can go to the following web link and bookmark it to view home games live.

We are planning on using HUDL tonight for the Boys' Basketball game vs South Ridge. The broadcast will only be for the Varsity game and will go live at 6:50 p.m.
This is free for families to use to view activities.
Don’t forget the Elementary concert is tomorrow, Wednesday, December 21st! There will be a dress rehearsal at 9:30 AM and the actual performance will be at 1:30 PM. Kindergartners should wear nice clothes. 1st-2nd graders should wear black pants or leggings and will be dressed as snowmen, so they should bring a bright scarf and maybe mittens, or a stocking cap. 3rd-6th graders will wear red on top.
There have been questions as to if we will make up a snow day next Friday, December 23rd as it's marked on the school calendar. Because it is late notice we will not use Friday as a make-up day.
Next week we will finish the week on Thursday as originally planned.
Thank you and enjoy the holiday break!

Here is the audio link for the Special Board session on Monday, September 12th. Sorry about the sound quality, we still had to meet in the auditorium, which is not the best for sound.

The location of tonight's school board meeting has been moved back to the HS Auditorium. We just don't have the Library ready yet for meetings. An audio of the meeting will still happen for the public to listen to at a later time.
