The Principal's Corner
When we return to school on April 7th, the final countdown will have begun. Our remaining school days are limited, making your child’s attendance more important than ever. Every day counts, and while spring fever can set in this time of year, staying focused and present will help ensure a strong finish to the school year. Please keep in contact with the school regarding any absences or if you need assistance—we are here to help.
The spring calendar of events is listed below and is subject to change. We try our very best to keep everyone updated at all times. Once again, please contact the office or myself with any questions. I hope you and your family enjoy this 4-day weekend—see you soon!
