The pounce will come to you every Sunday morning with weekly news

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Families, I would like to offer you my sincerest gratitude for all that you have done to help your student attend school virtually.
We certainly had a few bumps and glitches, but it was a very successful first week. I am encouraged that 99.5% of our students have made it to school. In fact, our attendance is better now than compared to the good old in-person days!
Staff have been full of joy after finally getting to interact with classrooms full of kids. It is truly our pleasure to partner with you all in service of our children. Working together we will make this a memorable and successful year.
With gratitude,
Matt
