Principal's Message
Dear Parents,
I am so excited to share that our school has published its strategic plan. This document is a long-range plan supporting the school's mission, vision, and philosophy. The teachers, advisory school board, and administrators will use it to plan for the school's future. The strategic plan is a living document that will be updated as the school completes each goal or adds additional goals. The plan can also be found on the school website under the 'About' tab. Parents are encouraged to review it and see how bright our future looks!
Blessings,
Mrs. Canino

Featured Family
Joining the Smart Families Program has helped me better understand our role as parents in managing smartphones and electronics. Technology is here to stay, so it's important to teach our kids how to balance screen time and make responsible choices. As an optometrist, I encourage everyone to engage in more outdoor activities. 'More green time, less screen time' is a great motto for us all to follow! - Simon, Regina, Cameron, and Finn Nguyen
