Happy Fall, Pirate Families!

Thank you for showing me your overwhelming support for Principal Appreciation Month!!! Whether it was a card, gift card or candle, I am so grateful and thankful for you all.

Red Ribbon Week is Here!

This week, we celebrate Red Ribbon Week! We encourage all students to participate in our themed dress-up days as we promote healthy choices, positive behavior, and a drug-free lifestyle. Please refer to our Red Ribbon Week flyer for each day's theme.

Attendance Matters!

We are excited to share that our school attendance has improved compared to this time last year! This is something worth celebrating, and we couldn't have done it without YOU! Let's keep this positive momentum going by ensuring our students arrive on time and attend school daily. Every day counts, and every minute of instruction matters! Please continue to keep the school informed of any absences or attendance concerns.

Positive Behavior Pays Off!

Let's continue encouraging our Pirates to make positive choices and demonstrate our S.A.I.L. expectations: Show Respect, Act Responsibly, Inspire Others, and Lead by Example! We look forward to celebrating our students at our upcoming PBIS event this Friday, October 30th!

As always, thank you for trusting us with your children and supporting our efforts to make this an amazing school year. We are better together, and your partnership makes a difference!

Our doors are always open! If you need us, please don't hesitate to stop by and see us. We are happy to help!

Wishing all of our Pirate families a wonderful week and a Happy Fall!

With Pirate Pride,

Where Every Pirate Matters!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported, donated, and cheered on the incredible breast cancer survivors and fighters at today’s Providence Pink Out Parade. Thanks to your amazing generosity, we proudly presented Liz Hurley with over $1,800 to benefit the Huntsville Hospital Breast Cancer Center. We also extend our gratitude to Trader Joe’s for donating beautiful flower bouquets to all the survivors. Thank you all for standing with us to fight together and supporting such a worthy cause!
