Principal's Pen

March 8, 2024

Dear Parents,

Please check your child's backpack for report cards today. You should be able to access their report card on the parent portal as well. We hope you are signed up for conferences next week. If not, please contact your child's teacher as soon as possible. We are closed on Monday, March 11th to provide time for Parent Teacher conferences. In addition, the students will be dismissed early at 12:45 on Wednesday, March 13th for the same purpose.

Lastly, look out for our S'more dedicated to our theater production of FROZEN! It will be coming soon. It is not to be missed.

Have a good weekend,

Trish McGuire and Matt Hartigan
