Message from the Principal
This was a fantastic 1st quarter! I am so honored and proud of our staff and students. I hope everyone has a relaxing and fun October Break. Looking ahead, 2nd quarter is filled with many exciting events. Parent conferences will be held the week of October 14th. We will dismiss at 1:45 p.m. every day that week. Tuesday is our evening conference day. If you do not know the date and time of your conference, please contact the office when we return from break. The parent-teacher partnership is very important to us. Please take the time to visit with your child's teacher during this week. Our goal is 100% attendance.
