Dear Parents and Guardians,


Happy New Year! WE in 2023! Together in connection, collaboration and community we begin in partnership. Tuesday we welcome students back to school. This year let us think of how WE can mindfully be of support and gratitude to each other each and every day at home and school. Our teachers and staff welcome you and continue to focus daily efforts to support the academic growth and social emotional learning of our students. Please review the important information below. Reminder it will be a wet couple of weeks please be mindful of students dress and traffic to and from the school. Thank you, for your PumaViking partnership in community!


Go Pumas Vikings! Vamos Pumas Vikings!

Creating New Family Traditions for the New Year

It’s a new year! While New Year’s resolutions and goal-setting lists can feel overwhelming, I’m all for building thoughtful, easy-to-maintain activities into our family life. Instead of resolutions, consider adding simple rhythms or routines into the days ahead.
