A Message from Ms. Kirkland
Dear Families,
We are celebrating another great week of learning and growth at our school! Thank you for your continued support and partnership—it truly makes a difference for our students and staff.
I would like to extend a special thank-you to families for your flexibility and support during our early dismissal on December 10. This time allowed our teachers to engage in important professional learning together, strengthening our instruction and ultimately benefiting our students.
As a reminder, next week is the final week of school before winter break. Please be sure to review the newsletter for important details, including office hours during the winter break, which are shared in the article below.
We are also looking forward to a special event:
