Welcome to Mustang Monthly! 🐎💙
We’re excited to launch Mustang Monthly, a new district newsletter designed to help our Cairo-Durham community stay connected and informed throughout the school year.
As we prepare to welcome students back on Sept. 8, Mustang Monthly will serve as a central hub for news, events, updates and resources from across the district. Each edition will feature a mix of school and district news, important notices, athletics, music, student and staff highlights, helpful resources, and more.
The September edition includes a welcome message from Dr. Schips, a school tax update, an introduction to Middle School Flex Period, our new agriculture program, a message from our elementary administrators, helpful links, and more.
New editions will be shared during the first week of each month through our usual communication channels.
We hope Mustang Monthly becomes a valuable resource for students, families, faculty, staff and community members!
