Principal's Newsletter: August
Welcome Back, Cheetahs!
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Welcome back to the 2024-25 school year! We are thrilled to embark on this new journey together, embracing our theme: “Embrace the Hero’s Journey.” This year, we encourage everyone to see themselves as heroes in their own stories, facing challenges with courage, resilience, and determination.
As we navigate this school year, remember to “Don’t Stop Believing” in your potential and the incredible things we can achieve together. Let’s support one another, strive for excellence, and make this year unforgettable.
We look forward to a year filled with growth, learning, and success. Together, we can make this journey extraordinary.
Best regards,
Yanitzie Oquendo

If your child rides the bus, we ask that you download the Edulog Lite app.
The app provides you with notification of bus delays, changes, and you can track the bus within the app!

Parent Requests
As you know, as campus principal I offer the opportunity for parents to make parent requests. The deadline for Parent Requests was May 1st this school year. While I make every effort to honor these requests, please know that my primary goal and responsibility is to ensure a balanced and effective learning environment for all students. ; therefore, I cannot always accommodate parent requests. This year, various staff moves and other constraints made this task much more challenging. I understand that not having a requested teacher may be disappointing, and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our hiring team works diligently to recruit the best teachers for our campus and I am confident that we have the best teachers serving and guiding your child toward success; Therefore, I must emphasise that current class placements are finalized and will not be changed.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
As we approach the new school year, please mark your calendars for our upcoming school events. Attending these events keeps you informed about your child’s progress, helps build a strong school community, and shows your child that you value their education. We look forward to seeing you there and working together for a successful school year!
