Wishing You a Wonderful Holiday Break!
A winter break announcement from the Redmond School District, featuring a red apple logo and the date students return to school.
As we approach the end of the year, we want to take a moment to thank our students, staff, and families for their dedication, hard work, and support throughout the first half of the school year. Your commitment to making our schools a place of growth and community inspires us every day.

Winter break is a time to relax, recharge, and celebrate with loved ones. We hope this season brings you joy, peace, and meaningful moments with family and friends.

Classes will resume on January 6th, and we look forward to starting 2025 together with energy and enthusiasm. As we kick off the new year, we encourage families to make school attendance a priority. Consistent attendance is essential for academic success, fostering connections with teachers and classmates, and building lifelong habits of responsibility. Let’s work together to ensure students begin the second half of the school year strong and ready to thrive!

Thank you for being part of the Redmond School District family. We’re excited to see what the New Year will bring!
