A Note from the Principal
I hope everyone has had a wonderful Easter Break!!!
We are looking forward to a fantastic last eight weeks of the school year. It is definitely flying by.
You can continue to help support your child at home by having them read daily and checking their folder for any other practice assignments and/or information that is being sent home.
If your child is in virtual learning and you are ready for them to return to in-person to help them get used to being back on campus before the year ends, we would love to see them. They have been away for a year now. We miss seeing their smiling faces.
Please do not hesitate to contact me, Mrs. Alexander, Mrs. Barber, or Ms. Bautista if you have any questions or suggestions.
Love, Mrs. Bitters
