BOBCAT BRIEFS

As our first semester comes to an end and the holiday season is upon us, I want to wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season. It is a pleasure to have your child(ren) in our school and this time of year is just magical! We hope that you and your loved ones have an opportunity to relax, connect, slow down and enjoy one another over the holidays! It's such a wonderful time for a slower pace and precious time with those we love. Please enjoy it to the fullest!

As we set our sights on finishing the school year strong in 2024, I'd like to invite you to complete a parent and guardian survey regarding culture and climate in our district. YOUR perspective and insight are important to us. We value our community and our families and look forward to learning more about your perspective and our school from the viewpoint of parents/guardians.

Thank you in advance for your time in completing the survey linked here: https://forms.office.com/r/5rN7tAt0Zj
