A Message from the Principal
Esteemed families,
This month, we've had a wealth of experiences as a school community. We enjoyed writing celebrations, our first annual pumpkin patch and had our character parade! We also had three family workshops including our People's Circle. Thank you for joining us through this educational journey. Our students look forward to these shared experiences. Your support is essential for our student's success.
Please join us on November 15th during parent engagement, from 2:30 to 3:30 pm for an engaging family event where we will be distributing sight words and fluency cards for students to practice at home basic number facts and build a strong foundation to become fluent readers. Join us for some math games and fun activities.
We are committed to cultivating a positive learning environment for our students to thrive, feel successful while enjoying learning.
Empowering our students of Today for the possibilities of Tomorrow!
Stay safe, see you soon!
