A Message from the Principal

Dear Parents,
Can you believe that we have almost completed a full semester? Time flies when you are having fun! Your child(ren)’s teachers have been working hard to ensure that our students receive the best education possible. When we return from the holiday break on January 7th, our staff will engage in meaningful staff development focused on Depth of Knowledge. This additional training helps us understand how important it is for our learners to do more than scratch the surface in their learning. We are grateful for this extra day to grow in our field while you get an additional day with your awesome kiddos. Thank you for sharing your children with us. They are truly the best of the best! Wishing everyone a happy holiday break!
