HAPPY NEW YEAR DOLPHINS !
I am excited to begin our work for the second half of the school year to ensure that learning continues. As we ring in the new year, we see this as an opportunity to check in with students and families to ensure that our students are on-track, prepared and ready for the second half of the year. What I have observed, as we approach the midpoint of the school year, is that students are academically strong and that our instructional and support team remains energized.
The new semester may bring a slight change in your child's schedule; please be sure to check itsLearning for their updated classes.
As we approach the Martin Luther King holiday, I am reminded of his commitment to LOVE stating "I've decided to stick with LOVE. Hate is too great a burden to bear" as the world around us may seem chaotic, I want our Dolphin family to know that we will strive to be a consistent source of support for you and your children please let me know if we can be of service.
With Dolphin Pride,
Principal Broadnax
