Family Update

Posted on December 2, 2024

Dear Families,

Welcome back to school!  I hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving break and had a chance to rest and relax!  There are 14.5 school days (including today) until winter break, with Friday, December 20th as a half day.  During this time, students will be learning a lot of content, socially engaging with peers and having FUN!  I appreciate everyone’s efforts in building the routine and habit of attending school every day.  School is an opportunity to learn new content while also connecting with peers and other supportive adults.  We also have a Winter Spirit Week scheduled for December 16th-20th…I already have my earrings planned!   Please click on the flyer below to learn more:
