Dear Families,

I hope you are all enjoying your summer! We’re certainly looking forward to an exciting new school year and hope you’re feeling energized for the opportunities and learning that lie ahead.

We are thrilled to welcome back our returning students, families, and staff, and extend a warm greeting to all our new community members. We’re committed to providing a supportive and enriching environment where every individual can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

25/26 Bookbag Bonanza

Our students were all smiles today as they got to pick out their very own book bags and school supplies! Every scholar here got to choose their favorite style to take home. We’re so excited to see them ready to rock their homework and projects! A HUGE thank you to Cradles to Crayons for their generous donation 💙. Their support helps our students thrive both in the classroom and at home! 🌟
