Principal's Message
We have almost made it to the end of the 2021-22 school year! What a ride?!! I
can’t say enough about our students, teachers, parents, and community. All of you
have played an enormous role in making this school year a success! Our staff and
students have worked so hard to catch up on unfinished learning due to the
pandemic. Thank you, parents, for supporting your child and being so flexible and
patient throughout the school year. Students have made incredible learning gains!
It is Teacher Appreciation Week! Let’s all use this week to celebrate our teachers
and support staff who give so much of themselves daily to promote the success of
our students!

Note from the Nurse
Also, If you have a student that will be attending the 21st century or summer reading programs and they take medication or have any medical conditions please reach out to me as soon as possible so that we can review their medical plan for the summer programs. I hope you all have a great summer and I look forward to seeing you next school year!
