A Note from the Principal
Welcome March!
There are several things going on this month that we would like for you to know about, so please read this newsletter update for all the details! We look forward to the Spring months that lie ahead! Remember, that student attendance is still important. We have so much to accomplish in the remaining three months of school, and we want all of our students to be a part of it! Thank you so much for your continued support of our students and staff.
Hope you have a wonderful Spring Break!
