Happy National School Psychologists Week!

This week, we honor our incredible school psychologists, Kristin Dobish and Stephanie Erickson, who work behind the scenes and in the halls every day to help our students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

From helping children navigate stress and building positive classroom cultures to conducting evaluations and supporting families during tough times, their impact is immeasurable.

How school psychologists make a difference every day:

Mental Health Support: Providing direct counseling and intervention.

Learning Strategies: Crafting individualized support plans for diverse learners.

Family & Staff Collaboration: Connecting home, school, and community resources.

Crisis & Safety: Keeping our school communities safe, supportive, and resilient.

Please join us in saying a huge THANK YOU to our school psychologists for their dedication, heart, and expertise!

See the post below for more information.

Slow Down, Stop, and Stay Alert: It’s National School Bus Safety Week!

Every day, millions of students rely on school buses to get to and from school safely. As driver distraction and passing stopped school buses remain top traffic hazards, we all have a role to play in protecting our students.

Here are 3 critical rules to keep top of mind behind the wheel:

Red Lights Mean STOP: Never pass a school bus with red lights flashing and its stop arm extended, t is both dangerous and illegal in all 50 states.

Watch the Flashing Yellows: Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop. Slow down and prepare to stop, do not speed up to pass.

Respect the Loading Zone: Maintain at least a 10-foot distance around the bus to keep children in clear view of the driver.

Let's work together to keep our school zones and neighborhood stops safe for every student. Share this post to help spread the word!

The Dusters wrap up their season with a hard-fought, five-set battle (9-15) against Boone Central in the subdistrict final.

Coming into the year with very little varsity experience, this team showed incredible grit and vast improvement every single week.

Congratulations to the players and coaches on a fantastic, highly competitive season!
