A Note from the Principal
It's fall!! What a wonderful time of the year! As we get ready to complete the first nine weeks grading period, I just want to take a minute to brag on our amazing and resilient children. They are working so hard and their "can-do" attitudes during our new normal inspires us each day.
Thank you for what you are doing at home to encourage their continued success. We have a lot of work to do, but I can assure you that together we can get it done.
Please do not hesitate to contact me, Mrs. Alexander, Mrs. Barber, or Ms. Bautista if you have any questions or suggestions.
Love, Mrs. Bitters
