A Message from the Principal!
Greetings Golightly Families,
Let's join forces to make these last few weeks truly remarkable for our scholars. Together, we can inspire them to finish strong, celebrate their achievements, and create lasting memories. With your support and involvement, we'll make this final stretch one to remember! ! 🎉✨
Consistent everyday attendance is key to academic success! When scholars attend school regularly, they have the opportunity to engage fully in learning, build important social connections, and stay on track with their peers. Lets make sure your scholar(s) are in school daily
MStep Science Testing for 5th & 8th grade this week! Encourage your child by offering praise and encouragement for their efforts in preparing for the test. Let them know that you believe in their abilities and that you're proud of their hard work.
