From the Principal's Desk

Dear Parents,

I want to thank you for coming to meet with your child’s teacher on Report Card Pick-Up Day on April 18th. Your involvement in your child’s education is a critical element in his/her educational success. You are valuable members of our team and we could not be successful without your participation. I am certain you are following your child’s teachers’ suggestions for improvement during this final quarter of the 2011-2012 school year.

From the Assistant Principal's Desk

 

Dear Parents,

Spring is definitely in the air. We are approaching our last few weeks of school but the students are still learning, striving, and expected to give their very best. The students must continue to come to school punctual, dressed in complete uniform, have completed homework, and distribute the Best of the Best behavior.
