From the Principal
The end of first semester is quickly approaching. I can’t believe we are halfway through the school year. Please ensure your student gets all missing assignments turned in to their teachers. We are well into the holiday season and many celebrations are beginning. We would like to wish you all a safe and relaxing winter break. We appreciate you all and wish you nothing but the best in the new year.
Remember this December, that love weighs more than gold.

This time of year is full of sensory overload from the music, to the lights, to the smells.

Here are five tips to make the holiday special for our special kids:
