From the Principal's Desk
It is imperative that we maintain our focus on teaching and learning. With the school year winding down, and so many distractions occurring everyday we must continue keeping the main thing, the main thing; instruction. Now is not the time to idle down, it is time we must ramp up our instruction in the classroom to insure our scholars achieve academic success. Please continue to provide good first instruction in the classroom and hold scholars accountable for their learning.
