Kindergarten Round Up 2021 Information!
Parent and students
During a construction project between Ionia and Saranac a power line and our fiber internet connection were severed. Consumer's Power and our internet provider are working to re-connect both power and internet. We have not been provided a restoration yet. We will keep our families updated.
Remote learners, we will connect with you as soon as we can.
Internet connection and phone services have been lost. We are currently investigating as to the cause.
