Hello Stetson Families,
Hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather this week. Spring is finally here! We are excited to have welcomed so many students back into the building. It is great to see the classes, lunch, and hallways filled with smiles and laughter again.
Your support and encouragement have been more important than ever to help our students reach their maximum potential academically, socially, and emotionally. KEEP IT UP! If you should have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me or a grade-level guidance counselor to discuss them in more detail.
