Message from Mrs. Wilken
Dear Trailblazer Families,
Please remember that there is no school for students on Monday, January 30th.
As we move into February, and celebrate the 100th day of the school year, there will be excitement and fun around the campus. We are more than half way through the school year and will continue to provide our students with a future focused education and, just as important, a continued emphasis on positive social well being.
Over the next few weeks, I will be sending information on a ThoughtExchange survey where we are encouraging ALL our school community members to participate in sharing their thoughts and ideas around the question: What supports do students need in order to have their most successful school experience in Poway Unified? This platform will be open starting February 1st - 17th. I hope you make the time to make your voice heard for both our school and with our Poway Unified School District.
As always, proud to be your principal,
Mrs. Wilken
