A note from our principal
Dear Families,
This year has required flexibility on everyone's part. I want to say thank you to all of our families for being so great to work with. You have helped make our pick up and drop off loop work smoothly. (What a difference a year makes!) When we send out Covid notices, you ask great questions and roll with what has happened. When there are issues that need solving, you call and work alongside us. Hornet Families, we are lucky to have you! Thank you.
