Easter's Coming! 🐣
Dear Falcon Families,
As we head into the final week before Spring Break and Easter, we want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and partnership. It's hard to believe, but when we return, we’ll have just five weeks left in the school year!
This final stretch will be a busy one, with a full month of end-of-year testing, culminating projects, and exciting end-of-year events. Please make sure your student is getting plenty of rest, eating well, and showing up on time so they can do their best.
We hope you and your loved ones have a restful, safe, and joyful Spring Break. Whether you're traveling, spending time with family, or just relaxing at home, we hope this time gives everyone a chance to recharge.
We'll see you back on campus Monday, April 28, 2025, ready to finish strong!
Warmly,
Miss Hoang
Have a Hoppy Easter! 🐇
