School starts in just three weeks, and we are excited to welcome everyone back! Our maintenance and custodial staff are working hard to get our school dressed up and ready for the new year.


As we prepare to return, we want every student and family to know: You matter. We care about you. You belong here. Our school is more than a building—it is a community where kindness, connection, and caring for one another are at the heart of everything we do.


We also extend a heartfelt thank-you to the firefighters working tirelessly to protect our community from the surrounding wildfires. We are deeply grateful for their courage and service.


If you have friends or family members who are new to our community, they can enroll online. Parents of returning students should log in to Skyward and complete the First Day Packet for each student. This can also be completed at our Block Party on August 18 from 4–7 PM.


Enjoy the remaining weeks of summer. We care about you, you belong here, and we can’t wait to see you soon!


~ Mr. Joachim
