Message from Principal DiPalma
Hello Explorer Parents,
We made it! We are in the last week of the school year. Thank you for your support this year and let's make these last few days memorable and fun.
Our campus is closed to lunch visitors this week. This is due to end of year awards and campus events that are happening that require extra safety measures and vigilance of our school building. Parents who are VIP volunteers and have signed up to help with PTA are able to be on campus on Tuesday for Splash Day.
Please remember to go ahead and complete registration for next year. Online registration for all NEW and RETURNING students is open. Register early to help us plan for classes and hiring of teachers.

Alisa DiPalma

Everything Is Possible Dreams are precious, and they represent the hopes and expectations we have for our lives. So every dream and positive vision of the future that your children have should be encouraged. Their dreams will inevitably change, but what matters is that they’re dreaming and believing. Constantly push your children to dream bigger, and never be the doubter or pessimist. | Attitude of Gratitude If you want your child to be happy, teach them to focus their energy and attention on the good things in their life. And when bad things do happen, work with them to understand the good that can come from such experiences. | Live to Give Get your children involved in service projects early. This helps create self-worth, and allows your child to help others while feeling the great satisfaction of making a difference. Create real life moments of service and giving in your home and celebrate them. Giving is connected to causes you are passionate about and integrated into your daily life. |

Passion First Every experience in your child’s life should be about growth. Constantly focus your attention toward helping them understand the skills they’re building, the knowledge they’re gaining, and the relationships they’re forming along the way. It is crucial that they find validation in who they are becoming, not in what they are accumulating. | We Are Connected We must instill values and a strong sense of self in our children, but also cultivate curiosity and open-mindedness towards all people, regardless of differences in beliefs. | 100% Accountable The greatest gift you can give your child is the confidence to fail, face adversity, and overcome challenges. Celebrate failure by teaching your children to that it may be the most important ingredient to their ultimate success. |

The Time is Now All your power exists in the moment. You cannot change the past and the future hasn't happened, so the only thing to do is take purposeful action now in order to create the ultimate life of your dreams. | | |
