A message from your Administrative Team

Pirate Nation,


I wish you a restful and refreshing spring break beginning on Monday March 17th! It has been a challenging year, and I appreciate everyone’s hard work and commitment to our school community. Thank you, thank you!


● When school resumes on Tuesday March 25th, we will be Navigating to success as we prepare for state testing. We need your students here every day learning!

● If your family or your student need support, please reach out to our school for help.


As long as your student is healthy, please encourage showing up to class when school is in session. If you have questions about your student coming to school due to a health or mental health concern, please contact our school counselors Mr. Ferrell or Mrs. Alcover.


Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn and connect to peers and their teachers.


Until then, have a wonderful spring break!




1...2...3...Go Pirates!!!
