From the desk of Principal Zeigler
I hope that you had a great week!
This week was Digital Citizenship Week. Students learned all the different ways they can be good Digital Citizens and ended the week with Pajama Day (which we all love!).
Halloween Letters will be going home on Monday, October 21st, please look out for it. The letter will be in your child's backpack.
Thank you to all the parents who joined us for Ms. Esposito's HIB presentation. It was very informative and we truly appreciate your partnership.
Have a wonderful weekend.
In Partnership,
Ms. Zeigler
