A message from your Administrative Team
Pirate Nation,
Thank you for a great 1st week of school following the winter break!
Students, we are thrilled to see your smiling faces back in the classrooms. This week, we focused on easing back into our routines, reviewing key concepts from last semester, and setting new goals for the months ahead. Remember, your teachers are here to support you every step of the way. Let's make this semester a great one by staying curious, working hard, and helping each other succeed.
Parents, your support is invaluable to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership in your child's education. Please ensure that your child is well-rested, prepared and ready to learn each day. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or the school administration. We are here to help and support you in any way we can.
Please ensure your child arrives on time. School starts at 9:25 and ends at 4:25.
Encourage your child to stay on top of their homework and assignments. Consistent effort will lead to success.
Stay informed by regularly checking your email and the school's website for updates and important announcements.
We are excited about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Let's work together to make this semester a successful and enjoyable one for all.
