From the Principal's Desk

As you may have noticed, we have added cables at the ends of the small road behind our school to prevent cars from accessing the back of our building. Please know that this step was taken for security reasons and to protect the “geomats” running around the back of the building which allow heavy vehicles to drive on them (e.g. fire trucks). We understand this has impacted the ease with which our walker families may access the walker area and we wanted everyone to know the “why.”


Report cards went home this week. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you didn’t receive one. Also, please remember that the report card links are only available for 7 days. Please review report cards carefully with your children and reach out to their teacher if you have questions and/or concerns. Our school goal for the year is our “drive to 85.” Put simply, we want to be an “A” school at the conclusion of the 2022/23 school year. We will only accomplish this lofty goal through a strong partnership between our school and our community. Let’s continue to work together to support our kids and do amazing things for them.
