Principal's Perspective

Happy Fall! We hope this season brings warmth and joy to your families.

We have an important update regarding our Fall Festival. Due to community activities, AHS hosting their Halloween event and Midland’s Madness, we have rescheduled ours to November 16th, from 5-7pm. We look forward to celebrating with you on this new date!

We are delighted to share that our student-led conference has been a tremendous success! Thank you for your active participation and support. It was such a blessing to see so many parents in the building. The ownership of the students as they shared their progress and goals was impressive. I am looking forward to our second round in the spring.

In light of our jam-packed instructional day, we kindly request that you allow up to 24 hours for our dedicated teachers to respond to messages. Your understanding and patience are greatly appreciated as they continue to provide an excellent education for our students.

Wishing you all a wonderful autumn season!

Angela Brown, principal

Dreambox Challenge

To make this October even more engaging for our students, we're continuing a school-wide Dreambox challenge! We are closely tracking data to ensure that students meet the district's expectation of completing 5 lessons each week. Our aim is to turn this into an exciting and motivating experience for all our students. Our students and teachers have been working hard to "move their star" on our hallway display!
