• While the district’s school buildings and grounds are maintained primarily for the purpose of educating students within the district, the Board of Education wishes residents of the District to have the benefit of the use of school facilities in after- school hours insofar as this is feasible without interfering with the regular school program.  Thus, the District’s buildings and grounds are used for many activities which are educational, cultural, recreational, and civic in nature, and which are primarily for the benefit of District residents.  Click here to obtain the application for "Use of School Facilities."  An application form for use of schools is also available in the Principal’s Office of each building.  For information, please call the Use of Buildings Office at 761-8379.
