Family Update

Have a safe and Happy Holidays! School will resume on January 6th 2025.

If your child needs winter gear, such as coats, hats, gloves, or scarves, please reach out to your student's counselor. We have programs that can provide donated winter clothing to provide the necessary gear to ensure your child stays warm and comfortable.
