First Day of School

Monday, August 31, 2026

We are excited to welcome our students and families back for another great year at Western Schools!

The first day of school for the 2026–27 school year will be Monday, August 31. We can’t wait to see our students at Grouse Creek, Park Valley, and Snowville Schools and begin a new year of learning, growing, and building relationships together.

Our theme this year is:

Be the Marigold: Growing Together, Thriving Together

Just as marigolds help other plants grow and thrive, we want each member of our Western Schools family to be someone who helps others feel supported, valued, and successful.

As we begin the year, we encourage everyone to think about:

How will you grow this year?

We are looking forward to a wonderful school year filled with learning, connection, kindness, and growth. Thank you for trusting us with your children. We are grateful to be part of their journey!

See you August 31!
