A R E!!

We can't wait for our Bulldogs to be back in the building on Monday! We hope that their winter break was a magical time! Our children deserve all the love and as their parents, so do you!!

Sometimes, our plans for magical don't work out quite as we'd like. If your child experienced any hiccups over break that you think would be helpful for their teaching team to know, please, don't hesitate to reach out. Similarly, if there are family concerns that they don't need to know about, but as parents you'd appreciate some resources to close a gap, move forward through a stormy season or want to make a suggestion for how we can best serve our community through family education topics...reach out! Call or email or Seesaw message. We might be able to help build the bridge you're looking for this year.
