September 2016 - Excellence in Education
A Word from Whittle
You can expect a newsletter towards the end of every month. It will come through the information you set up in Skyward to register your student. Please keep that information current. You can also check their grades, tardies, etc. through that system.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to support your child; we are here to serve.
Blessings,
Amy Whittle
Principal
