Trailblazer Bulletin #25
April 6, 2026

Welcome Back Trailblazers!
Welcome back from Spring Break! We hope you had a restful and enjoyable time with your families. As we return, we are excited for a strong finish to the school year. A lot is happening in the weeks ahead, so please be sure to review our upcoming dates and events.
Let’s work together to get back into the groove of our school routines. Helping students get to bed on time, eat breakfast, and arrive at school ready to learn and on time. This makes a big difference in their success.
We have approximately 32 school days remaining until the last day of school on May 21. Every day counts! Consistent attendance is critical, and we encourage all students to be present and engaged each day as we wrap up the year.
We would also like to share a staffing update. The Friday before Spring Break was Ms. Sasha’s last day as she continues to pursue her professional career. We thank her for her contributions and wish her the very best. Please join us in welcoming Theo, who will be serving as our long-term substitute in the front office. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this transition in the office.
As a reminder:
If your child arrives late, please walk them into the front office to check in.
If you are picking up your child early, you may be asked to show your ID as Theo gets to know our families.
Thank you for your continued support, we are looking forward to a great remainder of the school year!
