January kicks off not only a new year but also shifts our focus to a new school year. I never want to rush time, but the 2023-2024 re-enrollment paperwork will come home on January 27. Next week, we will send specific information about re-enrollment procedures. Please be aware we have 543 students currently enrolled; it is IMPERATIVE you register on time, as spots will go fast! We continue to receive calls daily from families interested in our school.

If you have listened to the forecast, it's time to flush those ice cubes, wear your pajamas backward, and do the snow dance. As always, you will be notified via text, email, and social media regarding school closure.

There is no school on MONDAY, JAN 16th, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr Day. I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend.

Godspeed,

Mrs. Hibler
