Have A Great Weekend!
Happy Friday Everyone!
Another great week of weather! Thank to everyone for a great week of school! We continue to be thankful that students are in the building and learning continues to be our main priority.
With the school year well underway as we head into October, it continues to be important to stay in touch with your child's teacher and their progress. Encouraging your student to take time to read as well as assist them in their homework is an important piece to their education. We want the students to feel successful and show a love for learning. Thank you for your continued support!
We have some exciting PTA events this month! Please check out the information below.
Wishing everyone a wonderful and safe weekend!
Warm Regards,
Dr. Morris
