Notes from Mrs. Carder
We enjoyed seeing so many during conference this past week. If you were unable to make the conference time please connect with your child's teacher. We strive to meet with 100% of our families.
Thank you for being a strong support of our school - it takes all of us working together to benefit our kids. Reach out if you have any questions and here is to a wonderful 2nd quarter of school!
For the Students,
Angie Carder
Principal
