Weekly Update to Families

Dear Parents and Families,

Happy New Year! I hope you had a restful and joyful winter break, and that you were able to spend quality time with your loved ones.

As we return to school after the holiday season, I want to welcome all of our students and families back to school for the new year. We are excited to continue the second half of the school year and to support our students in reaching their academic and personal goals.

This is a great time for students to refocus and embrace the opportunities ahead. Our teachers and staff are looking forward to providing engaging lessons and a positive, supportive environment as we move into 2025.

Please remember to check our school website and communication platforms for updates and upcoming events. If you have any questions or need support, don’t hesitate to reach out to the school office.

Thank you for your continued partnership. Let’s make this a successful and memorable year for all of our students! We look forward to seeing you and your student on January 7th.

With Gratitude,

Mrs. Beverly

What is school choice? School choice is the process of allowing every family to choose the K-12 educational options that best fit their children. Every child is unique, and all children learn differently. Some children might succeed at the neighborhood public school, while others might find a better fit in a public charter, public magnet, online, private, home, or nontraditional environment. That’s why educational choice is so important!

School choice options include all forms of education, from traditional public schools to public charter schools, public magnet schools, private schools, online learning, homeschooling, and microschooling.

Every child deserves an effective, challenging, and motivating education. And, because each student has their own unique set of talents, interests, and challenges, having a variety of options in education is crucial. What works well for one child may not work well for another child! In short, school choice ensures that each student can find a learning environment that allows them to be inspired, successful, and happy.
