A message from your Administrative Team

Hello Pirate Family!


Thank you to all parents, students, and staff who attended this week's ESOL Parent Night. We had over 35 attendees who were treated to an informative presentation concerning their roles and responsibilities in our school.


We want to continue to invite community members to join our school's commitment to improve student learning. One way you can participate in by taking part in our monthly SAC meeting held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month (Exception is November 12th due to Thanksgiving Break). There, you will find opportunities to have your voice heard, take part in major decisions that affect student learning, and be an agent of change for our community.


Thank you all,


Mr. Vera
