Message from the Principal

I am so proud of our students and the wonderful start we’ve had to the school year. Each day, I see kindness in our hallways, curiosity in our classrooms, and joy on our playground. Thank you to our families for sharing your children with us—they truly make our school a special place. Together, we’re building not just learners, but a caring community.
