District Office

October 2024
 

We have had an amazing start to the school year.  Outstanding instruction is taking place in classrooms throughout the district. We are also excelling in our extracurriculars with our athletic teams competing at a high level.  We are hopeful to advance and make postseason runs in the playoffs. Our community Ag Fair was a huge success.  Thank you to Mrs. Aukema and FFA for all of their hard work.  

The fall season is full of exciting events in the school district.  We’ve enjoyed a welcome back dance, a homecoming dance, spirit week, and the NHS blood drive to name a few events.  Congratulations to Coach Karen Funk and Coach Chip Stewart for having their respective fields named after them.  They are both very deserving and we are proud of them and their career accomplishments.

While we have a fantastic operational staff, it is necessary to recruit additional support to assist them in continuing to thrive.  In addition, we are recruiting substitutes district-wide.  While there are shortages in many areas, transportation seems to be one area hit very hard regionally and statewide. Community assistance is appreciated in promoting the benefits of working in our district.  Please encourage prospective candidates to apply online at any time through our district website, under the Employment link.  You may also contact the district office directly with any questions.  

While we strive for 100% school community satisfaction, we realize that questions and concerns will arise.  Please always feel comfortable calling the school directly, reaching out to a staff member or administrator, and always know that you are able to call my office if necessary.  While social media sometimes seems to be a popular forum for these discussions, it is not always the most effective venue to get your questions answered or your problems solved.  Our commitment is to provide your child and your family with the best educational experience possible.  Your ongoing positive communication and constructive feedback assists us in doing that.
