Building Leaders of Tomorrow
From the Principal's Pen....
Patriot Nation,
What a great turnout for our Meet the Teacher last night! We are beyond excited to welcome everyone back on Monday, and get our 2021-2022 school year off the best start. As with all new years, we know there will be snags with arrival and dismissal, and the time it takes at the beginning of the year. We are looking forward to working out the kinks quickly.
Please see the arrival and dismissal map below. Our processes have not changed, we just wanted to make sure all families had the correct information. We will continue with indoor dismissal this year for safety purposes. Please make sure you have a car tag hanging in your window, and we will be handing those out as well for the first few weeks. We want to make sure we have the best day back and dismissal is an important part of it. Please make sure your child's teacher knows how he/she will be getting home on the first day and beyond.
Have a great weekend and we will see you on Monday!
