AUGUST NEWSLETTER

Dear Families,

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! As your principal, I am thrilled to start another exciting and enriching year with you and your children. Whether you are returning to our school community or joining us for the first time, I want to extend a warm welcome to each of you.

We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and dynamic learning environment where every student can thrive. Our dedicated team of teachers and staff is passionate about inspiring a love of learning, fostering curiosity, and helping each child reach their full potential. This year, we will continue to focus on academic excellence, growth, and building a strong sense of community.

We believe that education is a partnership between home and school. Your involvement and support play a crucial role in your child’s success. We encourage you to stay connected with us throughout the year by attending school events, participating in parent-teacher conferences, and staying informed through our communication channels, including our school website, newsletters, Class Dojo and social media.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. Together, we will make this a fantastic year of learning, growth, and achievement.

With warm regards,

Brendalynn Love
