November 2022

Admin Message


As we move into the month of November things continue to progress very well. We would like to commend the staff and students on their commitment to learning. The move into the new PK school begins the first week in November with the arrival of furniture, AV, and fitness equipment. We are still on track to be in the new building on January 9, 2023. Please remember to help facilitate the move students will be learning online (at home) for the week of December 19th to the 23rd.


We are getting close to our new beginning!
