Calendar of Important Events

August 17th first day of school!!


Weekly update will be posted here for all upcoming and current information. The first week of class will focus on getting to know each other and setting goals and expectations for the coming semester. I know that with some effort this will be an amazing experience for all. If you are in need of a device and you have not contacted the school to let us know, please do so asap. We want every student to be successful this year and that is only possible with the right tools. Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation. Don't forget to fill out the parent survey. That will help me to build a parent database to contact parents.
