We can't wait!!!
We are so excited to start our new school year with you and hope that you all have had time to enjoy this amazing summer! We have been busy with preparing our school for the first day and we can't wait to have you see what changes have happened over here! Your child's teachers have been planning, organizing, and creating welcoming spaces this past week for the moment your children walk through the door!
Enjoy these last glorious days of summer and please reach out with any questions.
Please see attached Family Events Calendar. This will be updated regularly!
See you all soon!
