Message from the Principal We are looking forward to welcoming all of next year's incoming Kindergarten students and families on Thursday, May 27. After our regular school day, they will be touring our building, meeting staff and playing on our Kindergarten playground. Let's hope for a beautiful spring day!
We know that ending a school year can bring mixed emotions for all of us. While many students are excited about summer break and are looking forward to more free time and summer activities, this transition can also cause worry and uncertainty with the lack of the predictability of school social connections and routines. We will continue to carefully monitor and support our students over the next few weeks. I am grateful for your continued partnership.
Warmly, Mary McKasy
