A Note from the Principal
This week is all about celebrating the learning on campus. If you did not register early or did not receive your nametag, be sure to arrive 15-30min early to ensure you are on time for your child's celebration!
As we approach the last day of school, I wanted to remind you that we have early dismissal at 12pm. We ask that students NOT bring their backpacks on the last day of school.
Stay safe,
Dr. Norma Martinez
