Principal's Message

Welcome Back Bobcats!

It was such a pleasure to have our students back in the building this week. The week was full of smiles and first half week memories. I sincerely appreciate the patience of our families during arrival and dismissal times as we helped students navigate procedures during those busy times of our day. Please remember to not park in the staff lots during arrival or dismissal in order to drop off or retrieve students.


If you have students who have to be away from school for an extended period of time, we are currently establishing a plan for continuity of services. Once that plan is finalized, it will be shared with parents.


We look forward to welcoming back all students on Monday.


Have a safe and enjoyable weekend!
