Fall is Here!
As October graces us with its presence, we welcome the enchanting season of fall. We look forward to a month filled with learning, laughter, and the joy that fall brings. This month offers a wealth of schoolwide and classroom activities. Please be sure to note all the school-wide activities listed below and keep an eye out for communication from your student's classroom teacher for classroom happenings.
Thank you for being an essential part of our school community, and we can't wait to explore the wonders of October together.
Warmly,
