Back-to-School Immunization Reminder:
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the new school year quickly approaches, please make sure your child's immunizations are up to date to meet Wyoming school requirements.
Students entering 7th grade are required to receive a Tdap booster before the first day of school.
Children ages 4–6 entering Kindergarten are encouraged to have their "Kindergarten Shots" completed before school starts.
Parents please provide the updated documentation of the required immunizations (or an approved exemption) to the school on or before the first day of school. Thank you!
If your child needs vaccines, please contact your healthcare provider or our local public health office to schedule an appointment before the first day of school.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing all our students here in a couple weeks!

Wednesday is Turf Day!
Come get your roll (or two) of turf Wednesday, July 22, starting at 9:00 a.m. behind the high school. Turf is available for a donation while supplies last.
A few important things to know:
- Someone will be around to help load the turf throughout the day.
- The rolls are heavy, so come prepared with an appropriate vehicle and trailer.
- You must take an entire roll. We will not allow anyone to cut off a portion and leave the rest behind.
- If you only need a small amount, consider coordinating with someone else. Take a full roll home, then cut it and divide it there.
- There are also a few smaller rolls available if you don't need a full-sized roll.
We look forward to seeing you Wednesday starting at 9:00 a.m. behind the high school! Thank you for helping us give this turf a new home.
Please see the board-approved 2026-2027 calendar for the upcoming school year.
FCCLA had an incredible few days at Nationals in Washington, D.C.! Our students spent two days presenting and competing, and we made sure to explore as much of the city as possible. We took an amazing evening tour of the monuments lit up at night and spent time exploring the Smithsonian Museums, The Capital and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Today was awards day, and proud to announce that Emily received a gold medal, and Jaci, Kamilla, Sophia, Kaydence and Kyla all received a silver medal. They all did amazing!
After closing ceremony, we caught the train out tonight to Baltimore and will fly home tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for your support in making Nationals an unforgettable experience for our students!

NCSD Summer School students and staff enjoyed an educational field trip to Sunrise today! A special thank you to owner John Voight for hosting us and to archaeologist George Ziemans for sharing his knowledge and expertise.
Students had the opportunity to tour the first YMCA in Wyoming, explore the historic town of Sunrise, learn about the area’s mining operations, and visit the archaeological dig currently being conducted by Eastern Wyoming College students.
This hands-on learning experience brought history, archaeology, and local heritage to life for our students. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn more about this unique part of Wyoming’s history!
