Message from the principal...
Families,
It is hard to believe that we only have 19 days left of the school year. We have been through so much this year and through all of it, your student(s) have not only been really flexible and understanding but have SHINED in terms of their academic and social emotional growth. I know that I speak for the staff at our school when I say that I am so proud of each and every one of our students.
As we close out the year, I know that many of you have questions related to next year. Our team is working on designing excellent learning opportunities for all of our students. I will communicate specific information related to Open House, teacher placements, start of school activities and grade level supply lists as soon as this information becomes available.
Please reach out should you have any questions or concerns! We are HERE for YOU!
Mr. Klimsza
