The Compass Notes
August 27th, 2021
A Compass Note:
We want to thank everyone for a great start to the school year! We had a few bumps in the road this past week, and we are working to adjust where needed in effort to make this as successful of an experience as possible for our students, families, and staff. Overall, we are appreciative of the work that our students and staff put in this week, and know that we have made great progress in laying the foundation for a successful 21/22 school year. Please enjoy some of the pictures that were taken from this week and we look forward to seeing our students when we return on Monday.
Additionally, please know that the Compass Notes is, typically, an every other week newsletter. We plan on communicating with you again the second week of September.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Archer and Mr. Colburn
