FROM THE PRINCIPAL We hope you all enjoyed a pleasant and safe holiday with your families. Continue to stay warm and bundle up our scholars as they come to school each day during this winter wonderland we are having. Thank you for all you have done to help make the 1st half of this school year a success. As we continue to make great strides into the 2nd semester, please continue to read with your children, check their homework and encourage them to complete re-do’s when necessary, use their strategies, and prove with evidence. These are things we KNOW will ensure their success in school. It takes all of us as a team for our scholars to understand that school comes first before play. Please remember that it is important to continue to communicate with your child’s teacher about his/her progress.
