What happened

In January 2026, the principal reported that first and second grade were split into separate classrooms because enrollment increased; third and fourth grade are still combined. The superintendent had earlier reported first-grade numbers rose enough to hire a long-term substitute.

Why it matters to families

Smaller, single-grade classes change how young students are taught, and growth may affect future staffing.

The evidence

Jan. 27, 2026 minutes, principal report: 'Separated 1st & 2nd grade classroom, 3rd & 4th still combined, Increase in enrollment.'
