A Few Words from the Principal
Next week we have a full day Monday and a half day on Tuesday and then we are off on Winter Break until January 5, 2023.
Please take a few minutes to talk to your student about finishing these last days strong. There are many projects that students are finishing up and we want to make sure that they turn in the best work that they can before they leave for break.
Having conversations about being the best person they can during these last few days may also help your student end 2022 on a positive note. Help them to be aware that not all students feel the same way they do about winter break. Being kind and understanding is a great way to always approach others.
