Dear Students and Families,

I just returned after a great trip to Alaska with my father and boy what is it amazing.  Nonetheless, I am back to the grindstone and am excited for the upcoming school year as I know it will be another great year for Garrison Public Schools.  Our district will continue to enhance our multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) within both schools.  This has been an on-going process but continues to show great gains.  The elementary school will be implementing a new social studies curriculum, and the high school will be starting a new English Language Arts for the upcoming school year.  Most importantly, it essential we continue to build and foster strong relationships with our youth to ensure we know and understand their mental well-being.    

This summer has been another busy one and our maintenance staff continue to do great things.  This summer the window tinting was finally completed at the elementary school along with the locker rooms being finished.  We will be getting the last of remaining windows replaced at the elementary school, new gym entry doors at both schools, and new locker room doors at the high school.  The next major project we will be undergoing is the paving of the high school parking lot.  It will be planned to have elementary school one completed next summer.  As always, if you see any of our maintenance staff, please tell them thank you for all their hard work. 

Our new staff members for the upcoming year are Mr. Gage Gehring (HS Business/Tech), Mrs. Keely Lindgren (HS Special Education), Mrs. Britni Dobowey (Speech Consultant), Mrs. Heidi Barmon (Speech Consultant), and Mr. Jared Lovro (Ag).  We will also be hiring at least 2 paras for the upcoming year, but interviews will be conducted after this gets mailed.

Goals for 2024-2025

1.      Continued enhancement of Career and Technical Skills

2.      Further enhance/improve MTSS within both school buildings. 

3.      Strategic Plan Update

I look forward to seeing all of you Thursday, August 15, 2024!  Enjoy your last few days before school begins.

Sincerely,

Dr. Nick Klemisch, Superintendent
