Last week, we took a moment at our Governing Board meeting to shine the spotlight on some of the incredible individuals who help keep our campuses safe every single day: our security guards, school resource officers, and our safety and security coordinator.
While only some were able to attend the meeting, we proudly celebrate every member of our safety team across the district. Much of their work happens behind the scenes, but their impact is felt throughout our schools each and every day.
We are truly grateful for their commitment to our students, staff, and community. Thank you for all that you do!

Thank you to SFE Food Services for hosting the Roving Chef event for our elementary students! 🍕🍣
This hands-on experience focused on proper food handling and the importance of handwashing, while giving students the opportunity to see the kitchen in full operation. Students created their own pizza and sushi rolls, prepared food to share with their front office teams as a way to show appreciation, and completed a survey to provide feedback on menu items.
Students also received copies of the recipes they created and an SFE certificate of completion. We appreciate SFE Food Services for providing such an engaging and educational experience for our students!
