Stop by here regularly to read about student and staff awards, past happenings, upcoming events, and so much more!
Please join us on Thursday, September 12 for our Open House beginning at 5:30 p.m. We are eager to meet with you and share curriculum topics, special projects, expectations, and common goals for our students. This is an evening where our teachers will be sharing classroom and curriculum-specific information. Our Open House evening is designed for teacher-parent communication and is designed for the parents/guardians of our students only. Please find a schedule for the evening in our September 9 Scott Update. All classroom teachers will be giving two presentations for your convenience. We can’t wait to see you on Thursday!

Over the last several years, there was no standard hat/hood procedure in the elementary schools, likely related to COVID-19, when classroom windows were kept open for air circulation and there was the potential for it to be cold in classrooms.
As we have started the 2024–2025 school year with a typical school opening, we will return to only permitting hats to be worn outside the school building. Students may choose to wear a hat, but we will remind them to remove it upon entering the school building. Students may wear hats for outdoor recess. Teachers have discussed this with students.
On special occasions or spirit days, we may permit hats, and we will communicate this to students and families.
We know how fun it is for our students to get together after school and enjoy time together. Due to safety and limited bus space, we ask that students have no more than two guest riders with them at a time.
Anytime there is a need for more than two additional students to ride, families must make arrangements for parent pick-up that day. Thank you for understanding.
To ensure the safety of all, you will need to fill out the Scotland visitor form before arriving at school. We require you to present this form before entering the building during school hours. As an added layer of security, you must have an appointment to come into the building.
