FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Mustang Families,
Thank you for your flexibility this week as we’ve had an odd schedule for conferences. We love partnering with our families and connecting about your child 1:1!
Next week we will have Spring Break. I hope your family - whether heading somewhere, enjoying a staycation, or maintaining a somewhat normal schedule - enjoys the break from school and perhaps a little downtime together. We look forward to seeing our Maltby Mustangs back on April 10th!
Thank you for bringing your students to us for their academic and social learning. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at hillestadc@monroe.wednet.edu or at 360-804-3500.
In Partnership,
Christine Hillestad
