Charger Nation,
What an incredible first week we’ve had! Thank you to our students, families, and staff for making these first days back so positive, focused, and full of energy. We are excited about the year ahead and grateful for the support of our Charger community.
As we move into our regular routines, I want to share an important transportation update. Ongoing road construction along Highway 99 and the new work beginning just south of Maple Hill are creating significant delays due to single-lane traffic and pilot car operations. These projects are expected to continue for some time, and as a result, our buses may run later than scheduled on certain routes. We ask for your patience and grace as our drivers navigate these changes. Student safety remains our top priority, and while we will do everything possible to stay on schedule, these delays are, at times, unavoidable.
Thank you again for your support and understanding. We appreciate your partnership as we work together to make this school year a great one.
— Dr. Troy Pitsch, Superintendent

Charger Nation!
For the fourth year in a row, our friends at Mill Creek Baptist Church in McFarland have blessed our entire USD 329 team with a delicious lunch on Convocation Day — the special day when we come together as one district family to launch the school year.
This incredible gesture from one of our small but mighty “gem” communities reminds us how deeply we are supported and valued. The care, kindness, and generosity you show our staff each year fills more than just our plates; it fills our hearts. From all of us at USD 329… THANK YOU for fueling our team with such love as we begin another year of serving our students!
Dr. Troy Pitsch - Superintendent of Schools
