Dear Parents and Families,

Happy New Year! As we return from winter break, I’m excited to focus on the opportunities and goals that 2025 will bring for our students. We're committed to fostering growth, learning, and meaningful experiences for every child. Let’s continue working together in partnership to support our students’ success. I look forward to all that we will accomplish together!

Dr. Anita Brown
