Thank you for a great year!
As we come to the end of the school year, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for making this year truly remarkable. It has been an honor to witness the growth and achievements of our school community.
To our students: You have shown incredible dedication, creativity, and compassion creating an environment of Respect + Courtesy = Pride. As you embark on your well-deserved summer break, I encourage you to continue exploring and embracing new experiences.
To our parents and guardians: Your unwavering partnership has been invaluable in creating a nurturing space where our students can thrive. Your contributions have made a significant difference in the lives of our students.
Please be on the lookout for a mailing in late July regarding the start of the school year events. We are eagerly preparing to welcome everyone back for another enriching academic year, filled with exciting opportunities and meaningful experiences. For your reference, here is the link to the 2024-25 academic calendar.
Wishing you all a summer filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Do not hesitate to reach out if I can be of assistance to you over the summer.
In the Eagle Spirit,
Jori Bowen, Principal
