Week One is in the Books!

We are excited to share that week one is in the books, and the students have done an excellent job following the law regarding cell phones and navigating the campus construction. We continue to see increased engagment in classrooms, students socializing, and learning taking place at a high level of participation. We are proud of each student and recognize parents who are working in partnership with the school and teachers for success!
