We are so proud of our Coyotes! Our recent interim results show that students continue to grow at strong rates, and this progress would not be possible without your continued support at home. Thank you for partnering with us and for your encouragement throughout this past week.

We would also like to extend a big thank-you to all of our families who participated in our Cane’s fundraiser. The turnout was wonderful, and the funds raised will go directly toward student and teacher incentives that support a positive learning environment on our campus.

As we move into the final weeks before intersession, we want to remind families that these weeks remain focused on instruction. Daily attendance is essential to ensure students continue building on their growth and stay on track academically.

Thank you for your ongoing support of our Coyotes—we truly appreciate you!
