We are changing our remote learning delivery to be entirely online. Please check emails from teachers beginning Monday. As of now food program will continue. There will be no packet exchange on Monday.
Home Bound learning, not necessarily at home. Drew, Daniel, and Emma took their PE class outside! They learned about golfing with their grandparents. Send your adventures in learning to ginger.walker@spre4.org and look for them here.
Congratulations Julia Mondragon for being named 1A girls basketball player of the year.
We will exchange packets Monday, March 30th, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We are planning something curbside, like a drive thru (weather permitting). Bring your packet full of completed work, and pick up a new one - grab and go. Buildings will be open for those needing other materials.
Each 2020 Boettcher Scholarship finalist was asked to identify one teacher who impacted their lives and made significant contributions to their growth and education. Our 2020 Boettcher Scholarship finalist Benisa Ellis chose Mrs. Renee Loflin as their teacher nominee in recognition of Mrs. Loflin’s passion for the profession and dedication to their students. In addition to a plaque, the recipients of the Teacher Recognition Award will receive a $500 grant, which they may use toward an educational program, professional development, or project to benefit students at our school. Mrs. Loflin, this award is the Boettcher Foundation’s way of telling you that they appreciate your commitment to your students and to our community. We are incredibly proud to have you as a teacher in our school community and thank you for inspiring not only your students but also setting a standard of excellence for others in your profession.
The Governor has issued a stay at home order. However, our meal program and services to maintain our home based education plan are approved activities and will continue.
For students walking to the cafeteria there is a walk up window on the east side of the cafeteria where you can pick up your luhches.
Meal program begins today 11:00 - 1:00 If using drive-up on north side of cafeteria, please enter through the north gate by the bus barn.

SHS Students:
As we embark on a new model of instruction, I would like you to remember who we are. WE ARE LONGHORNS!
Being a lifetime Longhorn myself, there is a certain amount of pride that statement conjures up. It means we overcome obstacles, we will persevere in the face of adversity, and together as a community we will prevail. WE ARE LONGHORNS!
Remote learning will come with obstacles for us. Together we will find solutions. Many of these problems are not even known at this time, but we will solve them by working together, by communicating our needs, and by refusing to allow a difficult situation to break us. WE ARE LONGHORNS!
At the end of this phase of learning each of you will be in one of two categories. One group will emerge brighter, more independent, more responsible, and further down the road at achieving your goals in life. The other group will have an excuse for failing. Each of those excuses are nothing more than an obstacle you choose not to overcome. Together, we are capable of prevailing, regardless of the obstacles. WE ARE LONGHORNS!
This time of your life is temporary. We are here to support you. Communicate your needs with us and we can emerge from this in a few weeks better for the experience. WE ARE LONGHORNS!
I look forward to seeing every one of you today!
Top Elementary February AR Readers. Great job, boys & girls!!
