Community Chats - Fall Forum
As part of the transition of leadership, we are focused on providing more open communication with our parents and community members. We want to know what you feel we are doing well and some areas of challenge for our school. We hosted 6 chats this past summer and we are going to periodically run feedback forums throughout the year. Please see the RSVP form below for more information.
Portrait of a Patriot
This year, we will engage in the development of a new Strategic Plan with a focus on the outcome of the Portrait as well as focus areas like finance, facilities, and communication. I will announce dates for community input sessions as they become finalized.
Please consider being a participating member of this very exciting process for the future of our Patriots!
