Parking Lot Update – South Lot Work on Friday, August 1

On Friday, August 1, the south side parking lot will be undergoing tar reclamation

Please continue to enter the parking lot using the entrance near the tennis courts. You will still be able to drive through the area where work is occurring, but please use caution and watch for large machinery as crews will be actively working.

We appreciate your ongoing patience and flexibility as we work to improve our parking areas. Thank you for your continued support throughout this project!

Are you thinking about fall sports? We are! Athletes need to have a current Sports Physical on file to participate in athletics. Sports Physicals are different from well-child exams, but both can be done in one appointment! Sports Physicals are valid for three years, and we encourage kids to get theirs prior to 7th and 10th grade. Please check out our website for Sports Physical paperwork and more resources: https://www.isd740.org/page/activities-athletics
