As you received in the mail, you know that we are reviewing/recreating our mission and vision.
The mission is what we stand for and why we exist. Our current mission was created by former board, admin, faculty, staff, parents, and community.
As we review/rewrite, we hope you all will actively involve yourself in the process. On Tuesday, February 19th at 6pm, a special school board meeting will begin to address this. All community members, regardless if they currently have students in school, as well as staff are asked to participate in these meetings.
Reminder: “Written Off” will be shown on Lone Rock on February 17th and in Richland Center on February 25th. In 2016, more lives were lost to drug addiction than were lost in the Vietnam War. This film chronicles the life of Matthew Edwards, whose addiction to opioids began at age 15, after being prescribed pain medicine for a minor surgery. His grippingly honest writing reveals the secrets he tried so hard to conceal throughout a decade long struggle to escape addiction. Details for the viewings may be found on our website or on our app under News.
