As we enter this joyful holiday season, we want to extend our appreciation to all of our families for the many ways you bring warmth, celebration, and cultural richness to our school community. This time of year is filled with traditions and meaningful family moments, and we hope you are able to enjoy them together.
We know that cultural celebrations, family travel, and special events are important parts of children’s lives, and we value the experiences they bring. At the same time, maintaining consistent school attendance helps ensure smooth learning progress and continuity in the classroom. As you plan for the season, we kindly ask that holidays and vacations be kept to a minimum so students return centered, connected, and ready to thrive. Thank you for your partnership, your care, and the many ways you support your child’s learning.
As we prepare to close out 2025 strong, we also want to ensure students are set up for success when we return in January. A strong start to the new year begins with students arriving on time each morning, ready to learn, engage, and grow. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year, refreshed and ready for all the opportunities ahead!
