Student Clubs

  • Contact Mrs. Buche for meeting information and any applicable fees.  

    colored pencilsThe main purpose of an art club is to create art! Students may work on individual or group projects, exploring a variety of mediums such as painting, drawing, sculpture, or digital art. Sometimes we collaborate on large-scale murals or other community art projects. This can provide a sense of accomplishment and pride in creating something that others can enjoy. We also encourage students to enter local or national art contests, giving students a chance to showcase their skills and potentially win recognition or prizes. We also have at least one field trip per year to visit a local museum. This exposes students to different styles of art and inspire them in their own work. 

  • Please contact Mr. Stephenson for meeting information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our district uses ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically syncs with PowerSchool to generate an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.

ParentSquare is a safe, secure, and modern approach to communication and collaboration between school and home.

  • On the app, enter your email or cell phone number. The email and/or cell phone number should match what is in the school's information system (PowerSchool) or database.

    On the web, click ‘Sign In’, then under ‘Register’ section, put your email or phone number and click '“Go”.

    If the email or phone number is not recognized by ParentSquare, parents can follow directions to request access or call the school office and ask them to update the contact information.

  • ParentSquare allows users to customize their notifications based on notification type and select their preferred delivery method for each school. The Instant setting will send all post notifications in real-time. The Digest setting sends direct messages, alerts, and time-sensitive posts instantly, but sends all non-time sensitive posts at the end of the day, reducing the number of notifications you receive daily. (We recommend the Digest setting.) Learn more about notification settings.

  • Yes. All parents have a ParentSquare account. ParentSquare is the primary tool for district and school communication. Individuals who do not activate their account in ParentSquare will still receive an email digest at the end of each day that communication is sent out to them. In the event of emergencies, phone calls will be sent as well.

  • Parents can update their language preference for their account. Once they have done this, ParentSquare will automatically translate any communication to them in their selected language. This translation will also occur when the parent sends a message to a staff member. Learn more about ParentSquare translations and how to set the language preference.
