Message from the Principal

Dear Families,

I hope you are all staying safe. That you're staying home if you can, and if you do have to go out and work, that you are following safety measures.

I want to take this time to wish all of our mothers a Happy Mother's Day. I hope you had a very relaxing day. Thank you to all of you who submitted a picture for Mother's Day. if you have any pictures you would like to share, please send them our way.

There are only four weeks of school left, so please make sure that your student is doing work. If your student is unable to make a live session, make sure they check in with their teacher or watch a recording. We understand that a lot is going on, and times can be stressful; however, we want to make sure that you all succeed. Reach out to your student's teachers or any of the staff if you need to. We are here to support you.

Sincerely,

Ms. Moreno
