Welcome back, families! We hope you enjoyed a restful and joyful holiday break filled with great memories with family and friends.   As we start back, our classrooms are filled once again with energy, care, and a strong focus on learning. This month, teachers will be gathering assessments to help inform student progress and prepare report cards. Beyond the classroom, students will continue engaging in opportunities such as the start of volleyball season and continued rehearsals for our upcoming drama performance. We truly value and appreciate the ongoing support and partnership of our families. Here’s to a successful and rewarding few months of learning ahead!
