Student Expectations at Games
Please remember that it is a privilege for our students to participate in athletics and activities. It is also a privilege for students to attend events and support their peers. When our students attend a home athletic event or activity, it is the responsibility of the parents to make sure their child(ren) are sitting down with them. Please do not allow your child(ren) to run around during these events as it creates a safety issue. Students who are asked more than once, may be asked to leave the event or activity.


Mrs. Hines’ College Math class was playing “Sink My Battleship” practicing using exponent rules and simplifying. What a fun to see students use the skills that they are learning.

Due to scheduling conflicts, homecoming week has been moved to 9/30 - 10/5. Please see the Athletic Events planned for that week. We apologize for the inconvenience.



Ms Chintala's students get ready for the day with a little movement activity. Movement gets the blood pumping to the brain and helps the students focus.

Mrs. Wheeler's class tried to make a potato battery however, it didn't work. These students, are disappointed but are not going to give up and will learn from the mistakes they made. This is an excellent example of LEARNERS behavior.

Fantastic turnout of this year's K-12 ESL Parent Night! A huge thank you goes out to parents who were able to join teachers and admin and learn more about our Dragon Family! Parents attended workshops pertaining to Getting to Know Your Dragon Family, Technology, and information about the ESL Program! FCCLA students volunteered their time to watch children while parents attended workshops! Students and families were then treated to delicious ice cream from Holyoke's Las Chucherias ice cream shop! Lastly, each K-12 ESL student received their own book, Dreamers, and were asked to write a goal for the year! In ESL we DREAM BIG!!!
We wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to Seaboard Foods for yet again supporting our K-12 ESL events! Your generosity and support helps make these events an even bigger success! We would like to express our gratitude to ALL staff who were able to attend.
