Dear Parent/Caregiver,

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we are conducting a survey in partnership with Studer Education to monitor our progress in creating a positive school experience for you and your child(ren). Your feedback is crucial in helping us identify areas for recognition and improvement.

The survey will ask you to select the school your child(ren) attends. Once you complete the survey for 1 school, you will have the option to provide feedback on another school, if you have a child at another school in the district. Providing feedback to each school should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. We encourage you to complete it in one sitting, as your responses will be saved once you click submit.

Take the Parent/Caregiver Survey

The survey is scheduled for 4/6/2026 through 4/24/2026.

To maintain confidentiality of the Parent/Caregiver Survey, our partners at Studer Education will be administering the survey, managing the data collection, and aggregating the data to provide results reports to leaders. 

Thank you for your partnership,

Huskies, the snow is melting, the flowers are blooming, and the end of the school year is sprinting toward us faster than we can keep up with sometimes! That means one thing - our March/April double issue of the Huskie Tracks newsletter has arrived, and it’s packed fuller than our suitcases for Spring Break! As we bound toward the finish line, it’s more important than ever to stay in the know and stay connected. Deadlines can sneak up like a surprise spring storm, and we don’t want anyone left out in the cold. Take a few minutes to read through, mark those calendars, and make a plan.

Mardi Gras was in full swing in the building yesterday as staff and students in fun Mardi Gras garb! We also hosted our 2nd Annual Rock, Paper, Scissors Challenge between staff and students. It was a fun way to celebrate - full of friendly competition, school spirit, and a few intense showdowns along the way.

Congratulations to our Top 5 finishers — smoothies are headed your way! Janavian Stewart, Cordae Watkins, Marcel Piechowicz, Keegan Rickstad & Pierson Albaugh.

And in one of the standout moments of the day, Janavian Stewart climbed from the bottom of the bracket to claim the overall title, sealing it with a final-round win over Mr. Lowder.

Thank you to everyone who joined in this fun annual event!

It’s the grand finale of SnoCo Week, Huskies.

Throw on your school colors, deck yourself out in Huskie gear, and make it painfully obvious which school we go to.

TOMORROW is the LAST DAY for the Love Potion at the 641 Coffee Counter and the final chance to grab your SnoCo Dance tickets before they switch to the “my wallet wasn’t ready for that” price tier.

Huskies go big on Thursdays - especially this one.

Even though our Pep Assembly/SnoCo Court activities got pushed to Feb 20, let's finish this SnoCo week strong!

We are officially halfway through SnoCo Week, and the momentum is building.

Time to turn the halls into a blizzard. Show up dressed head‑to‑toe in white and make the school look like it got hit with a snowstorm… but, you know, the fashionable kind.

Grab your Love Potion from the 641 Coffee Counter, snag those dance tickets while they’re still in the “teen‑budget‑friendly” zone, and let’s keep SnoCo Week rolling.

If we all show up in white, maybe winter will finally calm down.

Double the outfits, double the chaos, double the fun.

Grab your bestie, your lab partner, or that one person you always accidentally match with anyway - TOMORROW is the day to twin up and show out.

Whether you planned it weeks ago or coordinate in the hallway five minutes before first hour, we want to see those iconic duos.

And while you’re twinning, don’t forget to stop by the 641 Coffee Counter to grab some Love Potion then snag your SnoCo Dance tickets during lunch before they before they hit the "should’ve bought them early" price.

Let’s make Tuesday twice as fun ❄️👯‍♀️
