Principal Weekly Update to Families

The first week of school is always a time of adjustment, and we know it can be challenging for

students and families alike. Take time this weekend to talk with your children about how proud

you are of their transition back into school routines. Despite the changes and new expectations,

our students have had a very successful start to the school year!

As a reminder, our school opens at 9:10 AM. The first bell rings at 9:20 AM, and that is when we begin escorting students into the building. The school day officially begins at 9:25 AM.

Dismissal for all students is at 3:45 PM.

Please take a moment to review the most up-to-date information regarding our school clerks.

We’ve also included flyers with details about the many activities and programs available to our

families—we hope you will take advantage of these wonderful opportunities.

Most importantly, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns throughout

the school year. We are here to support you and your children every step of the way.

In partnership,

Joseph S. Rotz, Principal
