The School Board and Superintendent Heather Tow-Yick have each written a message to our students, staff and community members about October 7. Their full messages are enclosed.

In the September Community Update video, Superintendent Heather Tow-Yick answers two of the most common questions about the 2024 School Modernization & Construction Bond: 1) Does the list of proposed bond projects represent an even investment across all school and facility sites? 2) Do we still need a New High School? Hear the answers in today's video.

We are committed to ensuring every student has access to the supports they need in and outside of the classroom. Funding from the November 5 School Modernization and Construction Bond would be used to help provide inclusive, accessible, safe and well-maintained spaces. This includes safety and accessibility enhancements at elementary play areas where needed, so all students can use the equipment and play together.
