The Mustang Mailer

December 2021

State of the Stable

November started with a well deserved week off for Fall Break. Students returned to school on November 8th working harder than ever as they finished their first marking period. I for one cannot believe we are already halfway through the first semester. Our second marking period started on November 15th. The transition between marking periods provides an excellent opportunity for students to start the new quarter stronger than ever!

Conferences were held from November 17-19. Our teachers enjoyed having the time to meet with so many parents and guardians, as well as being able to discuss how to help each student succeed. Thanks to all of you who took the time to meet with your child’s teachers.

As we head into next week, I’d like to take the time to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving. Every day I am so very thankful for our wonderful students, amazing staff, supportive parents/guardians, and passionate community. May your time be filled with laughter and surrounded by the ones you love. I hope this is the start to a happy holiday season full of good health and happiness for all.
