February 2nd, 2024
Hard to believe we’re already more than halfway through trimester number 2, and well into the “back nine” of the 2023-2024 school year! Reminder to all families that mid-trimester progress reports are being sent home with students today.
Students have been working very hard throughout the four walls of our school building, while building some great social connections with their peers and adults along the way. I want to commend all students for their efforts in the classroom! I also want to thank you all as families for supporting them in the process. Middle school age and life isn’t easy. With our partnership we can help all of our students succeed at a high level!
Wishing you all a happy February and I look forward to our continued work together as we head through the rest of the winter months.
