Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to reflect on the accomplishments and experiences that have made this year truly special for our district. Together, we’ve celebrated successes in the classroom, on the field, and within our community. None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of our students, staff, families, and supporters.
Parents, please make every effort to attend the activities occurring on your child's campuses during the holiday season and all year. Parent involvement is creates a strong partnership between schools and families and is the key to student success.
The holiday season is a time for connection and gratitude. It’s an opportunity to pause, appreciate one another, and look forward to what lies ahead. I encourage everyone to embrace this season of joy, rest, and togetherness.
On behalf of our entire district, I wish you and your loved ones a safe, peaceful, and joyous holiday season. May the new year bring continued success, growth, and happiness to all.
