Welcome Back!
Wow, what a start! As sad as we were to end the school year the way we did last year, we are equally as excited to be back! Our students bring so much joy into the building; we are grateful for the opportunity to work with them. They have shown up every day ready to learn, and they have demonstrated an eagerness to be successful. We're aware that potential obstacles exist as we navigate our new norm, but we are off to a fantastic start - hats off to both grades!

The Counselor Connection
Greetings from the counselor corner! We are so excited to have your students back in the building. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and flexibility as we get the year started! It’s going to be a great one!
Our district recognizes that due to our current circumstances students’ are more likely to be experiencing anxiety at some level or another. We are working diligently to give your students a chance to start their school day on a positive note. We are also collecting information on Monday and Fridays regarding how your child is feeling so we can best address these issues as they may arise. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Looking forward to challenges and joys that are ahead.
Sincerely,
Jourdan Van Wyk, School Counselor
