A message from your Administrative Team

Dear Pirate Nation,


The school year is quickly going by! November is a time for reflection and gratitude, and I am incredibly thankful for Pirate Nation.


As we approach the holiday season, I want to remind everyone to take time to appreciate the small moments and the people who make our school such a special place. Together, we can continue to create a supportive and enriching environment for all our students.


Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to our school. Let’s make this November a month full of learning, growth, and gratitude.
