The holiday season is quickly approaching and with it comes the end of the year. There is a lot to think about as we reflect on 2021, the word grateful comes to mind. Even with all the events of 2021, there is a lot we have to be grateful for. Gratitude is a reflection of what's going on in our hearts, not our minds. That is why we are grateful to be entrusted with the responsibility of serving our students, families, and community as a whole during these difficult times. Earning that trust is important to us and we hope our service to you has solidified a sense of how serious we take our responsibilities and the importance of serving you. I would like to wish each and every one of you a beautiful holiday season. May you spend quality time with loved ones, enjoying each other's company in a safe and healthy manner.

In Partnership,

Dr. Cortez, Principal

It's a wonderful time to have a beautiful picture of students taken with a holiday background. The pictures will be taken during school hours and given to students to take home on the same day. The flyer below has all the information for this event that will take place on December 16th to go along with our Holiday Spirit Week.

We want to inform you that in the month of December, the giant air conditioner units on the main building will be replaced (see image below). If you live on Frazer Avenue, please do not park blocking any of the school driveways on this street. There will be a giant crane truck that will need to access the school during one of the weekends in December, or on non-student school days (holiday vacations). We appreciate your attention to this matter.
