September Newsletter
From The Principal
Greetings Spartan Families!
What a fantastic first month of school! We hit the ground running and students are in a routine and busy exploring, creating, and learning. We have a lot of events coming up in September and October and we are looking forward to more opportunities to welcome families into the building as we continue getting back to a more traditional school year.
We have added to our Southwestern family. Mr. Collin Rigney is joining the Spartan Nation as the elementary school's new assistant principal. Mr. Rigney will also serve as the corporation wide athletic director. Mr. Rigney will be spending a few days a week with us and will officially start full time on September 26th. Welcome Mr. Rigney!
As always, reach out to us if you have any questions! We are happy to help!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hoeing
