As we enter December, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible partnership between our schools and families. Your support continues to make a real difference in your children’s learning and well-being.

Every day, I am amazed by the enthusiasm, determination, and growth I see in our students. I also want to acknowledge the incredible commitment of our staff, whose efforts ensure that each student feels supported, challenged, and valued.

Students will be on Winter Break from December 22nd through January 12th. We hope this time provides an opportunity for rest, reflection, and family connection. We look forward to welcoming our students back on January 13th for a fresh start in the new year.

Thank you for being such an essential part of our school community. Your involvement and encouragement make our schools stronger and our students more confident and capable.

Remember, it’s okay to ask for help. School counselors, teachers, and staff are always available to support students’ emotional well-being and help them navigate challenges. Together, we can ensure every student feels supported, resilient, and ready to thrive.
