We hope that you and yours are safe after the passage of Hurricane Ian. We at Team Success are fortunate that our school sustained only minimal damage that was easy to clean up and which does not affect our operations or the safety of our school. If your family has been impacted by Hurricane Ian, there are resources available to help; check out the information below. Also, due to having enough instructional minutes, Team Success students will not have to make up any hurricane days during the fall or winter break.

As always, please feel free to reach out to your child's teachers and to our school staff and administrators in the main office with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for being a part of our Team Success family!
