Captain's Log

A message from your Administrative Team

Pirate Nation,


Can you believe it is already the end of February? I know excitement is in the air as we quickly approach Spring Break, but I just wanted to remind you that as we Navigate to Success, every minute of learning is important.


We want and need our scholars here at school. Consistent attendance is crucial for your child’s academic success. Please ensure your child attends school regularly and arrives on time.


Communication is another key to success. Please stay in touch with your child’s teachers and me regarding any concerns or questions you may have. Your involvement is vital to your child’s education.


Thank you for your continued support of Pirate Nation!


Warm regards,


Misty M. Cruz

Principal
