is an effort to regulate the amount of supplies that parents have to
purchase at the beginning of the year.
Posted on 4/3/09 Middle school boundary changes - As a result of the need to balance
enrollments across the three middle schools students from the various elementary
schools will be reassigned. The major changes are:
Skano, Shatekon and
approximately half of Arongen 5th graders will go to Koda for sixth grade.
Chango, Karigon and Orenda
5th graders will go to Gowana for sixth grade.
Tesago, Okte and
approximately half of Arongen 5th graders will go to Acadia for sixth grade.
Students currently in middle
school will remain assigned to the same school until they move on to High School
West for 9th grade.
Requests to attend the same
school as a sibling should be sent to the superintendent's office. Students with
specialized programs may be assigned to a different middle school for that
particular program. Formal notifications will be mailed to parents next week.

3/3/09 Almost March Madness was a HUGE
success! In February, the PTA sponsored Almost March Madness, a basketball
competition between elementary schools. Staff members from
Arongen, Okte, Shatekon,
Skano and Tesago played basketball to a sold-out crowd of supporters. The
program was complete with cheerleading exhibitions for each school. The event
was such a success that there are plans to expand it for next year. Money raised
will be used to support the PTA and our schools! Congratulations to the Shatekon
team for winning the event! Click
