No School September 4, 2023 Labor Day
Message from Ms. Neill
As we approach the upcoming Labor Day weekend, I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a well-deserved break filled with relaxation and quality time with your loved ones. Labor Day marks a time to appreciate the hard work that goes into our daily lives and also provides an opportunity to recharge before we dive back into our school routines.
Here are a few important reminders for the weekend:
School Closure: Please be aware that our school will be closed on Monday, September 4th, in observance of Labor Day. Classes will resume on Tuesday, September 5th.
Health and Safety: As always, we encourage everyone to prioritize their health and safety during the break. If you're traveling or participating in group gatherings, please continue to follow recommended health guidelines to prevent the spread of illness.
Stay Connected: While the school is closed, our commitment to your child's education continues. Encourage your child to engage in reading, creative activities, or educational games during the break to keep their learning momentum going.
If you have any questions or concerns during the break, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We value your partnership and are here to support you. However, please be aware that our staff has 48 hour response time.
Enjoy a wonderful Labor Day weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on Tuesday!
Warm regards,
Principal Cammie Neill

ATTENDANCE REMINDERS

Excused absences consist of personal illness, serious illness or death in the family, and religious holidays.
