A GREAT START!!

Fantastic Friday Tenacious Tiger Family!!

I am thrilled to extend my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to each one of you for contributing to a truly successful first week of school! It’s a joy to see our hallways and classrooms buzzing with energy and enthusiasm as we embark on this new academic year together.

A special round of applause goes out to our students in transition grades—our 6th and 9th graders—as well as all the new students who have joined our school family. Adjusting to new routines and environments is no small feat, and you have all handled it with impressive resilience and positivity. Watching you navigate these changes with such adaptability reassures us that this year will be filled with growth and learning.

I would also like to express appreciation to our parents. Your cooperation with the traffic patterns during arrival and dismissal times has helped ensure a smooth and safe start for everyone. Your patience and understanding demonstrates the strength and cooperation of our school community.

As we look forward to the rest of the school year, let's continue to support each other in fostering a nurturing and vibrant learning environment for all our scholars. Together, we will make this year one of achievement and enjoyment, filled with memorable moments and significant milestones.

As we go into the long weekend, I want to provide you with some important dates and reminders to ensure everyone understands the expectations and we can continue to experience success as a school community.
