A Word from your Instructional Leaders

Happy New Year!

We hope you all had a restful Holiday break and a Happy New Year 🎊! It is our honor to thank all of our parent volunteers who were able to give our staff the gift of time on 12/15/22. We are excited to begin our Spring semester this Thursday, 1/5/23! As soon as we have completed our Middle of the Year assessments, we will share the data with you all.

It is so important for kiddos to have a nice breakfast to start their day. We serve breakfast daily from 8:00-8:15 a.m. Please support your child and their learning experience by striving to have to school by 7:55. This will allow them to walk in with their class, have a morning greeting from their teacher and enjoy breakfast with their classmates. As a school, we begin instruction at promptly 8:15. We appreciate your support with your child's education.

Thank you,

Amanda Castillo amacastillo@lcps.net
