Cougar Academy's Session 2 has provided numerous learning opportunities. Last week's theme was Space, followed by Safari this week. We had fun with Steam, Math, Writing, visiting the library and engaging in teamwork with friends! We are looking forward to our final day of 🐾Cougar Academy🐾 tomorrow!
It's hard to believe we are already half way through July, which means it is again time to "opt in" to school transportation for the 2025 - 2026 school year. If you would like transportation for your child(ren) for the 2025 - 2026 school year, you must complete the following registration form for each child. Please note, if you live in town we still need you to complete the form. To help us with our route planning, please complete this form (for each child) no later than August 11th. You can access the form by either clicking on the link below or using the QR code.

Mayo Clinic Health System will include sports physicals as part of a comprehensive well-child examination, which fully assesses a student athlete’s overall health.
A new exam is unnecessary if a student athlete has had a well-child examination within the past 12 months.
