A Warm Welcome Back to Our Students and Families!

 

Dear Parents and Students,

As we prepare to open our doors for another exciting school year, I extend my warmest greetings to each of you! On behalf of the entire faculty and staff, it's my distinct pleasure to welcome back our returning students and families and to warmly embrace those who are new to our school community.

The summer months, while undoubtedly a time for rest and rejuvenation, also bring with them a sense of anticipation for what the new academic year will hold. We've been busy preparing our classrooms and common spaces, ensuring that our school remains a safe, engaging, and inspiring environment where every student can thrive. Our dedicated team of educators has spent countless hours refining curricula, planning enriching activities, and collaborating to ensure that we offer the best possible learning experience.

Celebrating Our Success!

Before we look ahead, I want to take a moment to celebrate our incredible academic achievement from the past year. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our students, the unwavering support of our parents, and the exceptional commitment of our staff, we have once again achieved a school grade of an “A”! This marks our third consecutive year earning this prestigious recognition, and it's a testament to our collective commitment to excellence. Congratulations to everyone on this outstanding accomplishment!

Important Upcoming Dates!

We're kicking off the school year with our Meet the Teacher event on Thursday, August 7th, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This is a fantastic opportunity for students and parents to visit classrooms, meet our wonderful teachers, and get a feel for the exciting year ahead. We strongly encourage everyone to attend!

And mark your calendars: the first day of school is Monday, August 11th, 2025! We can't wait to see all of our students' smiling faces back in the hallways.

Partnering for Continued Success

This year, we are committed to fostering an even stronger partnership between home and school. We believe that when we work together, hand-in-hand, we can unlock each student's full potential. Your involvement, whether through volunteering, attending school events, or simply staying connected with your child's teachers, plays a crucial role in their success.

We are incredibly excited to embark on this new journey with you. Let's make this a year filled with discovery, growth, and unforgettable memories.

 

Sincerely,

Dr. Sean S. Brown

Principal
