A Long Weekend Ahead! 🐬
We’re looking forward to a long weekend! Friday is a non-student day, and our teachers will spend the day collaborating, reflecting on student learning, sharing instructional strategies, and planning ways to help every student succeed.
Monday, we’ll observe Indigenous Peoples’ Day. We hope our students, families, and staff enjoy the extra time to relax, recharge, and connect with loved ones.
Next week, we’re excited for tryouts for Boys Basketball, Girls Soccer, and our Coed Spirit Squad! It’s always great to see our Dolphins step outside their comfort zones, get involved, and build school spirit.
Enjoy the long weekend, Dolphins! We’ll see everyone back on Tuesday for a FULL DAY schedule!

If the passing of time makes you ache, you're actually doing it right:
It means you've built a life full of things worth missing and,
That you've learned to love the present so deeply and you're not just waiting for a better future to arrive. The ache isn't proof you're losing time, it's proof you created something you love.
