WE ARE OFF TO A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR !

We’re excited to share that we are off to a great start to the school year! The energy in the classrooms is fantastic, and it’s wonderful to see our students settling in, making new friends, and diving into their learning. Your child has successfully completed the beginning of the year assessments. These assessments are an essential part of our educational process, helping our teachers gauge your child's current level of understanding and identify areas where additional support may be beneficial.

We appreciate your ongoing support on our beginning of the school year routines and procedures. Together, we’re creating a positive and productive environment for our students to thrive.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We look forward to continuing this great momentum throughout the year!

Importance of Attendance

When students attend school regularly, they are more likely to stay on track with their learning, build strong relationships with their peers and teachers, and develop the discipline needed for lifelong success. While we understand that absences due to illness or family emergencies are sometimes unavoidable, we encourage you to prioritize your child’s attendance as much as possible.

Reporting an Absence
