Our school security officer, Mr. Mike, retired on February 24th after many years of dedicated service to our school community. He played an important role in keeping students and staff safe each day while also building positive relationships throughout the building. Mr. Mike will be greatly missed for his kindness, presence, and commitment to Primos. We wish him all the best in his retirement and thank him for everything he has done for our school.

Our school is excited to welcome Mr. D as our new school security officer. Students have already had the chance to get to know him, as he has worked in our building prior to taking on this new role. We are glad to have him officially join Primos in his new role and continue supporting the safety of our school community.

Congratulations to all the winners for their outstanding behavior and leadership!
