Join us on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, right after school from 3:00–4:30 PM at Scott Field. Whether you’re a seasoned player or trying out for the first time, this is your chance to show what you’ve got and earn a spot on the team.

Middle School Tennis Club

Did you know that Central, Southwest, Parkview, and West High Schools all have a tennis team? Get your student ready now by joining the new Middle School Tennis Club! We will kick off the club on Wednesday, October 21st, and do 5 weeks of training at Rebsamen Tennis Center. We will then break for winter and pick back up in the Spring to compete in matches against local teams. Since this is a club, families will be responsible for transporting their student to and from practices and matches.


Sign-up for Tennis Club HERE- https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvU7rMwkHI7w9OWy2YmQ5_plOar2zm3-LE25vjv2I4VtuUbA/viewform

Interested but want to learn more? Come to the Parent Interest Meeting this Tuesday, October 6th at 5:00 pm in the Cafeteria.




Mountain Biking Club

New mountain biking club coming soon! Grade level isn't set, but because the bikes are large, it will likely be 4th–5th grade and up (possibly middle school). Bikes and helmets will be provided.



Please attend the Parent Interest meeting on Tuesday, October 6 at 5 PM in the cafeteria to learn more.

Good Morning, Parents and Guardians,

As we near the end of the first nine weeks, we want to thank you for a wonderful start to the school year. We hope you have noticed your students are becoming more comfortable and confident in the school setting.

Most students are now walking to class independently—what a great milestone! We understand that some children still prefer to be walked to the classroom door, and that a few parents find it difficult to leave once their child is inside. This is completely natural.

To help every child continue building independence and confidence, we encourage you to begin having your student walk to class unassisted. Our morning duty teachers are stationed throughout the building and will ensure each child arrives safely to their classroom.

Thank you for partnering with us as we support your child’s growth. We are proud of the progress we are already seeing and look forward to a fantastic rest of the year together!

☀️🍋 Sunshine, STEM & a Little Creativity! 🏖️ Our students have been learning all about Sunlight and Weather—including the Sun’s warming effect on Earth! 🌎☀️ To put their learning into action, students chose between a lemonade stand 🍋 or a beach 🏖️ and designed a shelter to help protect people from the Sun’s heat. Learning, building, designing, and having fun—all while thinking like little engineers! 💡🛠️ Way to shine, Eagles! 🦅💚

This Wednesday’s FHSA vs. Pinnacle View volleyball game will take place at FHSA instead of PVMS.

Come out Wednesday night at 5:30 and cheer our girls on!

📣 Make plans to join LRSD for the FREE High School Recruitment Fair & 52nd Annual College Night tomorrow night, Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 6–8 p.m. at Hall High School Cirks Arena! Explore high school programs, meet college reps, and discover career and military options. These events are open to ALL students, regardless of school district. We hope to see you there!

Good morning,

I just want to keep everyone informed and provide a heads-up regarding potential delays with school-to-home transportation this afternoon due to athletics.

Some buses may arrive at their assigned schools later than normal. We anticipate that all affected buses will arrive at the schools no later than 4:30 PM to begin their school-to-home routes.

I wanted to communicate this in advance, so everyone is aware of the potential delay. I will provide real-time updates if anything changes or if we experience any additional delays.

Thanks,
First Student
