One Week to Go!
We are looking forward to seeing students again next Thursday, August 23rd, and having busy hallways and classrooms! We hope your child is looking forward to a great year. Each year brings growth and along with that growth, different experiences. Attached is an article to help you prepare as you guide your child through the school year. No matter if your child is entering school for the first time or the twelfth time, there are new and exciting things in store for them!
