Message from the Principal

We made it through our first full five day week! Students are settling into routines, building strong classroom communities, and already showing great growth.

I am proud of the hard work our teachers and staff are putting in each day, and I'm equally grateful for the support you provide at home. Together we're creating a positive and engaging learning environment where every child can thrive.

Thank you for sharing your student with us! We're looking forward to an exciting year ahead.

Miss Moreno is consistently flexible and willing to help out wherever. She steps in without hesitation whether it's supporting students, assisting the teacher, or covering unexpected needs. Her positive attitude and dependability make a noticeable difference in keeping things running smoothly.
