A Great Year of Collaboration and Progress

As we close out this school year, we should all be very proud of the collaborative effort to improve our school and create significant impact on student learning.  Parents, students, staff, and community groups have all contributed greatly to create a much more beautiful and enriched school with expanded programs for all.  The staff, LSC, PAC, BAC, and PTA have all worked endlessly to raise expectations for performance and ensure results in meeting our goals.  This has formed a solid foundation for further improvements and gains next year.  I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful contributions and hard work.

Please check the website over the summer for updates on school opening information since we are still awaiting word from the Central Office regarding staffing and programs for next year.  We will be scheduling a day in August for parents to come into the school to pick up necessary school opening packets and obtain student room assignments.  We are looking forward to a great upcoming year! 

I hope that everyone has a terrific summer and enjoy time with family and friends.  Of course, don’t forget to have fun reading and writing!
