Message from the Principal and Assistant Principal
This month we celebrate National School Counselor's week. A very big SHOUT OUT to Mrs. Nemecek and Mr. Lantz who do an amazing job with our students.
We are also celebrating our 90th day of school. This means we have been doing remote online learning for 1/2 the school year. Can you believe it? So much to learn and such a limited amount of time for it. This really goes back to every day being so important to us.
As always, we are so proud of the tremendous amount of work that happens every day. It is such an honor to work with such hard-working people who truly care about every single one of their students.
Happy February!
