The USD 312 Board of Education approved moving Emmy Johnson into the role of half-time Assistant Early Education Director and half-time Interventionist.
As our Early Education Department continues to grow, this position will provide additional leadership and support for our youngest learners and families. Emmy brings a wealth of experience to this role, having served as a classroom teacher at Yoder Charter School and as an Interventionist at Little Learners in Yoder.
We are excited for Emmy to step into this new role and continue helping our early education programs grow and provide quality opportunities for students across USD 312.
Congratulations, Emmy, and thank you for your continued commitment to our students and families!
As we prepare for another school year, we are looking for parents and family members who are interested in becoming part of the Haven Grade School PTO!
Our PTO plays an important role in supporting our students, staff, and school community. Throughout the year, we help organize fun events for students and families while also coordinating fundraisers that provide valuable resources and opportunities for our school.
Whether you're a returning family or brand new to Haven Grade School, we would love to have you involved!
There are many ways to participate:
Serve in a formal PTO leadership position.
Attend our monthly PTO meetings when you're able.
Volunteer to help with events and activities throughout the year—even if you're unable to attend meetings regularly.
We understand that everyone has different schedules, so there is no expectation that you attend every meeting or volunteer for every event. Whether you can give a few hours throughout the year or would like to take on a larger leadership role, your support makes a meaningful difference for our students and staff.
If you are interested in joining the PTO or would simply like to learn more about how you can help, please email Principal Braedon Morrison at bmorrison@havenschools.com.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to partner with us in making Haven Grade School an even better place for our students to learn, grow, and thrive. We look forward to welcoming new faces to our PTO this year!
Go Wildcats!

USD 312 Community,
On Monday evening, the USD 312 Board of Education held a work session to continue discussions regarding the district's Capital Outlay budget and future facility needs.
The Board reviewed a comprehensive list of potential projects, along with the district's ongoing annual capital needs such as HVAC replacements, roof maintenance, technology, uniforms, vehicles, and other facility improvements. These annual expenses remain an important part of maintaining our schools and protecting our community's investment.
In addition to those recurring needs, the Board identified several priority projects that will be explored further and considered as part of future Capital Outlay planning:
Repairing and improving the exterior of all district buildings
Upgrading the electrical service in the Haven Grade School gym and installing an HVAC system in the Haven Grade School gym
Upgrading and remodeling our shops/CTE classrooms
Improvements to the track
Multi-purpose room/space addition at HHS
In addition, we will continue to address smaller projects identified through our district facilities study as funding allows. While not every project can be completed at once, the BoE is committed to making steady improvements each year.
It is important to note that these projects have not been approved at this time. Monday night's discussion was part of the Board's long-range planning and budgeting process to help establish priorities. As cost estimates are developed and funding options are reviewed, projects will be brought back to the Board for consideration and formal approval through the district's regular budgeting and approval process.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Proud to be a Wildcat,
Craig Idacavage, Superintendent
We hope these calendars help our families as they plan vacations, appointments and activities throughout the year.
