Monthly Update

December 2025

Dear Families,

Happy Holidays! We are starting to wrap up 2025 already and our students have had an amazing first half of the year. We know there have been struggles for some but overall, we always see our students’ growth and dedication to do better for themselves and invest in their education and wellness. We hope during this holiday break you all continue to celebrate their growth and accomplishments.

Below are some announcements and reminders.

FIELD TRIP

This Thursday we have a field trip for students to go ice skating. Students must be passing their classes, have no major crisis or relationship work, and no AST in order to attend the fieldtrip. Please look out for the permission slip.

FRIDAY FESTIVE FUN

This Friday, we will have a holiday celebration with the students. We will be handing out some gifts that have been donated, as well as a special gift for each of the students from our team. We usually gather around the tree and hand out a present to each student. It’ll be Pajama Day while we celebrate the end of the year so students can come to school in their pajamas that day 😊

MINIMUM DAYS & BREAK

This Friday, 12/19 is a minimum day and students will be released at 1:45 PM. Our break is from 12/22/2025-1/5/2026. On 1/6/2025, our first day back, it will also be a minimum day and students will also be released at 1:45 PM.

We hope you all enjoy the holidays, rest, and enjoy time with one another. We will see the students back in 2026!

Thank you,
