Spring Has Sprung!
The snow has melted, the sun is shining, and the students have been very hard at work! We are now entering the time of year where the weather gets nice and students have a tougher time than usual staying focused on their academic responsibilities. Please continue to stress to your child the importance of taking responsibility for their academic achievement. The staff here at the Middle School will continue to work hard to provide your student with challenging and enjoyable learning experiences through the final weeks of the school year.
I hope that all of you had the opportunity to refresh and rejuvenate yourselves with family and friends during the break! It is hard to believe that we have only a few months left in the 2023 - 2024 school year. I would like to take a moment to thank you for your hard work this year! You are all vital to the success of our students.
With warmest regards,
Allison Parry, Principal (alparry@insightpa.org)
