Memorial Day Weekend - NO SCHOOL


Dear STARS Families,


Please remind your scholars that in addition to the time they are learning with their teachers (virtually or in person), they ALSO have Reinforcing minutes to complete their instructional day. The Reinforcing Activities assigned by their teachers are not optional...but a required part of their learning. We recognize that this has been a challenging year for all of us, but please help your scholars to FINISH STRONG!


Looking Forward to a fresh start in August 2021,

Mrs. Wall & STARS Teachers
