Riding the Wave of Excellence!
January 8, 2023
We missed seeing our scholars during our winter recess and we are looking forward to starting our second semester tomorrow, Monday, January 9, 2023.
A new year and a new semester await so let's put our best foot forward. I encourage you to join all the upcoming events. PTO will be hosting a Family Movie Night on Friday, January 27 from 5:00-8:00pm. Everyone is welcome to join! During our PTO meeting this Tuesday, January 10 at 5:00pm we will provide more details regarding upcoming events, including a Valentine's fundraiser where we'll sell flowers and candy grams. Join our PTO meeting!
Our First Coffee with the Principal is scheduled for this Thursday, January 12 from 8:15-9:00am in room 24! I welcome you to enjoy chatting and getting to one another. All parents are welcome!
There are other exciting events happening this month so be sure to continue reading this newsletter and join us at any or all the events!
Do you drop off or pick up students via car? As a reminder, please remember that the roadway on our second parking lot (west side of our cafeteria) is reserved for bus drop off and picking up of students. Picking up or dropping off students by car is done through our main parking lot directly in front of our main office. Help us be efficient during pick-up time by bringing your sign with your student's name written on it.
Happy New Year and Happy New Beginnings!
"And suddenly you just know it's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings." -- Meister Eckhart
