Week of August 18 Updates and Reminders

Dear Parents and Guardians,
 
Starting the week on Thursday gave our students a smooth transition back into the school routine. I want to extend a warm welcome to all of you and share a few important updates.
 
It’s been wonderful to see our students’ enthusiasm and energy in the classrooms. Teachers are excited for the year ahead and remain committed to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment for every student.
