Good afternoon families,
We want to share that our school building and grounds are clear, clean, and safe. We truly miss seeing our students and look forward to welcoming them back to school.
It is important that students are present each day so they do not miss valuable instruction, learning experiences, and time with their teachers and classmates. Every day matters, and we want to ensure all students stay on track academically.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We can’t wait to see our students back in the building!
