Superintendent Bill Barnes shared this earlier:

We have been able to provide significant upgrades through our current bond program, from a new Wacousta to the district restructuring to increased safety throughout the district, and we appreciate the support that our community has provided us through this process. We are now winding down the 2018 bond program, and as good stewards of the community’s resources, we need to look ahead at continued needs over the next five years. To those ends, we are currently partnering with architects TMP and construction managers Clark Construction to develop that plan, which could include a potential zero mill increase over our current rates bond proposal to enhance our instructional facilities. We spent the winter working with our partners and helping them get familiar with our needs, including those listed here from an October 2025 presentation. Now, we have reached a point where we would like to share our thoughts with you, our families, staff, and the community. To those ends, we are hosting two community forms, and would like to invite you to attend. Please see the flyer above for more details, and if you plan to attend, please RSVP at GLcomets.net/RSVP so we can maximize participant engagement.

The team at Impression 5 has been hard at work prepping for this year's Summer L.A.B.S. program! The Summer L.A.B.S. program offers children hands-on experiences exploring scientific concepts through interactive experimentation, challenges, artistic expression, and play. These unique programs are designed to pique your child’s interest in the world around them, encourage curiosity and creativity, and celebrate new discoveries each day! The Summer L.A.B.S. program offers exciting sessions for ages 5 to 14. 5-year-olds who plan to attend Summer L.A.B.S. must have completed kindergarten by their first program date.
