What happened

When an aide left in December 2025, the school chose not to rehire. It combined grades 5, 6, 7 and 8 so two teachers had free periods to cover the work.

Why it matters to families

Older students now learn in one multi-grade class.

The evidence

November 20, 2025 minutes record the decision to combine grades 5/6/7/8 instead of replacing the aide.
