School will be in session on Monday, February 17, which was previously listed as a "Weather Makeup Day."
The Board of Directors met last evening to determine which of the four elementary buildings would attend the new one. The Board voted for Bellefonte Elementary and Benner Elementary students to attend the new elementary building in the fall of 2026!
This decision was driven by the Board's commitment to ensure the well-being and success of all students in the District. The physical challenges of the buildings, combined with the need to allocate resources to facilities that can better meet the long-term needs of our students, made this an unavoidable conclusion. The goal is to provide every child with a safe, nurturing, and high-quality learning environment, and are confident that this step, though painful, is necessary to achieve that goal.
