✨ Building Strong Number Sense with Subitizing! ✨

Subitizing is when students can quickly recognize how many objects are in a group without counting one by one. This important skill builds strong number sense and helps make addition and math facts easier and faster. We’re growing those math brains every day! 🧠➕

At last night’s Board of Education meeting, the Board approved granting the Superintendent the authority to convert OS (Out-of-School) Days to regular instructional calendar days when emergency closures occur. This change allows us to make timely adjustments to protect required instructional time and reduce the need for make-up days later in the year.
As a result of this action, Monday, February 9, 2026, will be converted from an OS Day to a Regular School Day.
Students and staff should report as they would on any standard instructional day.
Thank you for your flexibility and continued commitment to supporting our students and school operations.
