Message from the principal...
What a year!!
We have had our fair share of challenges to say the least. One aspect of this job I have always enjoyed has been saying hello and meeting parents when you stop by the office for different reasons. Now, when you stop by we are communicating through the intercom. I never imagined we would be calling parents telling you your child has to leave school because they are quarantined. We appreciate your support, the willingness to do whatever it takes and the overall optimistic approach you have shown as we navigate through this year. Thank you for trusting your children with us.
Merry Christmas!
