Message from Kent
The second semester of school is extremely vital to the growth and development of our students. We must be laser focused on our goals and how we will ensure every student is growing as learners.
Keep in mind the goal you will be focusing on as we go through the 3rd 9 weeks. Reach out to those who have knowledge and expertise to help support you with your goals. Always know we are a team together and with a common vision, goals, and everyone on the same page, we will continue to do great things for our students and as a staff!
