Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day to our awesome bus drivers 🚌 Make sure to thank a school bus driver today and every day for transporting your children safely to and from school each day, as well as to sporting events, field trips and so much more. We simply could not do it without them. Our bus drivers play an integral part of running a school district & we couldn't be more thankful for them 🙏

Reminder: There is no school on Monday, February 20, 2023 in observance of President's Day. School will resume on Tuesday, February 21, 2023. See you soon!

Reminder: Today is an early dismissal day for our students. Students will be dismissed at 11:17 AM. There is also NO SCHOOL on Monday, February 20, 2023 in observance of President's Day. Have a great long weekend and be safe!

The Valentine's Day fun has started..... more pictures to follow.



5th and 6th graders from Bessemer and Wakefield had a blast dancing their hearts out on Friday night. There were a total of about 60 students in attendance. For most of the students, this was their very first dance. Thank you to our chaperones for volunteering their time! It was a successful evening.
