What our administrators would not do to help our students succeed! Our math academy students got a "super" visit. Hero Math Man swooped in to encourage our students to learn as much as they can. Plus, he asked the students to recite the catchphrase--"your learning is exponential, but your potential is infinite." By the end, our students activated their math superpowers!

This year's Back to School Forum will be held on July 31 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at District Office, 386 E. Black Street.
