From Dr. Madden's Desk to Your Home
2026-2027 The Year of Teamwork
Dear Aura Families,
Welcome back, Squires! We are absolutely thrilled to open our doors and welcome our students back to in-person learning. These past few weeks have truly highlighted the strength of our school community, and we are so grateful for your patience, flexibility, and partnership throughout our time, especially during remote learning. As our Squires step back into their classrooms, our top priority is ensuring a warm, smooth, and supportive transition as we re-acclimate to our daily routines together. Nothing replaces the energy, joy, and connection of in-person learning, and we cannot wait to see those smiling faces filling our hallways once again. Thank you for being such an extraordinary part of our team!
Take care,
Dr. Madden
