A Message From Your School Administrators
We just want to take a few moments of your time and send a heartfelt thank you. Thank you for entrusting us to educate your child/children. Thank you for your support this school year. Thank you for your patience and kindness.
Although COVID has taken a bit of a toll on all of us, our students and faculty continue to shine. Our visits to classrooms give us a true perspective of the amazing job that teachers and staff are doing to make up for lost instructional time, close learning gaps, and push forward with new learning.
As a community, we work together to support and empower our students to become life-long learners. We value our partnership with families as we work together to extend the learning at home. Here are a few learning opportunities you can encourage your student(s) to do at home during the holiday break: iReady math (1-2 passed lesson per day) and read 20 minutes per day. Your student(s) may want to participate in the read-a-thon to win prizes! Read-a thon information and reading log were sent home today.
We wish you a safe and happy holiday season. We will miss all of our students and look forward to seeing everyone on January 3rd!
Happy Holidays,
Natalie Kelly, principal
Sylvie Carbajal, assistant principal

A message from Ms. Chapman
Is your child interested in making their own computer games? Or likes puzzles? Maybe wonders how computers work. Then Code Kids is for them. Coding is not only fun but helps with reason and logic. It is a free, eight-week class held on Tuesdays after school. If your student is interested, talk with Ms. Chapman.
