Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season filled with joy and cherished moments with your family and friends. As we return to school after the Christmas and New Year holidays, I am grateful for your continued support and partnership in your child’s education.
The start of a new year is always an opportunity for reflection and growth. As we dive back into our curriculum, we remain committed to providing a nurturing and engaging learning environment for all our students. Our teachers are excited to welcome your children back and help them continue their educational journey.
During this time of year, it's essential to re-establish routines that support learning at home. Encouraging your child to share their holiday experiences can help them transition back into school mode and strengthen their communication and writing skills. Additionally, we encourage you to engage with our school community through upcoming events and activities—your involvement makes a significant difference!
Please watch for announcements regarding important dates and events as we move forward. We are excited about what the second semester has in store and look forward to working together to ensure our students thrive academically and socially.
Thank you for being an integral part of our school community. Wishing you and your family a happy and successful new year!
Warm regards,
Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.
