Sunday Scoop - March 2026

Sunday Scoop - March 2026

Hello,

March is often a time of growth and fresh starts, and it’s a good reminder that the small choices we make each day truly matter. For our students, one of the most important choices is simply showing up. When students attend school consistently, they stay connected to their learning, build confidence and keep moving forward toward graduation and what comes next.

Showing up each day is a powerful first step, and what happens after students walk through our doors is just as important. Every day in the classroom is an opportunity to learn something new, strengthen friendships and take another step toward college or a career. Thank you to our families and staff for reinforcing this message and supporting our students in making attendance a priority.

March is also Women’s History Month, giving us the opportunity to celebrate the achievements and impact of women in our community and beyond. As we head toward spring, we remain focused on supporting every student, every day.

Warm regards,

Shauna Murphy
Superintendent
