Family Hawk Talk
Summer Edition
NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
The answer is, "A LOT!"
This summer, our building is undergoing a BIG facelift! The whole building was emptied and is in the process of being repainted and getting new flooring. It is looking so good!
Two days were spent developing and planning for our goals for the 2024-25 school year. A small team of our teachers came together and set goals in the areas of reading, student learning, student respect and belonging, family involvement and building a culture of success. We will be sharing more specific information as the school year unfolds, so stay tuned!
Besides relaxing and recharging, our staff has been involved in days of training, learning, and planning for the kids to come back. We cannot wait for the halls to be bustling again with the never-ending energy of our middle schoolers.
