Principal's Message
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This week, we celebrating Kindness Week! Students will be participating in various kindness activities in their classrooms, fostering a positive and supportive school community. Encouraging kindness not only strengthens friendships but also helps create an environment where everyone feels valued and included.
Additionally, regular attendance is key to your child’s success. Missing just a few days of school can add up quickly and impact their ability to keep up with lessons, participate in class activities, and develop good habits for the future. Being present every day helps students stay on track and feel more connected to their classmates and teachers.
We understand that sometimes absences are unavoidable due to illness or emergencies. If your child must be absent, please communicate with the school and encourage them to catch up on missed work. Let’s work together to ensure that every student has the best opportunity to succeed!
Thank you for your support in making both attendance and kindness a priority. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out.
Mrs. Herrera
Principal
