A Message from Proud Principal, Laura Clark
Happy Friday! Looks like we are finally getting the Fall weather.
I can't wait to see all our parents this week as you attend Parent Teacher Conferences. I am so thankful that we have a school district that values the collaboration of parents and teachers by allowing us Early Release Days. Our students are WHY we show up each day to ensure they receive the BEST teaching and learning. We are lucky to have such an amazing community that values education and supports our school! I know the parent teacher conferences will be valuable to ALL!
We want to thank our wonderful Pre K and Kindergarten parents for the HUGE spread of staff goodies that you brought to show appreciation to our staff! It was absolutely incredible!
Have a great weekend making memories with your kiddos!
Proud to be your Principal,
Mrs. Clark
