Due to impending weather, tomorrow's youth basketball league at the MS has been canceled. The league will wrap up their games next week! #WeAreTheU
With the impending weather we are going to delay tomorrow's district wrestling tournament to a 12:00pm start time.
It is still our goal to wrestle tomorrow and avoid moving the meet to Monday. With that being said, we are prepared to have to delay to as late as possible in order to get the meet in.
Due to strong winds and low temperatures, we will have a two-hour late start on Thursday, February 13. Please note the following adjustments:
-No elementary Pre-K classes
-Eagle Care will open when the elementary school does
-No breakfast will be served
Stay warm and stay safe!

Due to the forecasted winter weather and the winter storm warning issued for our area, we will be canceling school on Wednesday, February 12. This will be a traditional snow day for our students, meaning they will not be required to make up the day.
Please stay safe and enjoy the snow day!

Carter Forbush (senior) is learning CAD design, where he creates digital models on the computer. For this project he used a CNC router—a computer-controlled cutting machine—to bring it to life. CNC routers are highly precise tools used for milling, engraving, and carving materials such as wood, metal, and plastic.
UPDATE!! We have a State Champ at The U!
