From Administration

As we head into March, we are proud of the growth and effort we continue to see from our students academically, socially, and personally. With Spring Break (March 23–27) on the horizon, we remain focused on meaningful learning and strong connections in the weeks ahead. We remind families that Fridays matter with consistent attendance plays an important role in student learning and belonging.

Thank you to all families who attended our recent Parent-Teacher Conferences. These conferences provide an important opportunity to connect about your child’s learning, strengths, and next steps. We encourage families to continue reviewing PowerSchool and Google Classroom together and, when possible, to include students in these conversations. We value our partnership and look forward to continuing our shared work in supporting student success.

Save the Date – Grade 9 Farewell - Thursday, June 25, 2026 at 10:00 – 11:30 am

We are looking forward to celebrating our Grade 9 students as they prepare to transition to high school! The Grade 9 Farewell will be a special opportunity to recognize their growth, achievements, and the completion of their junior high journey.

Please note that this is a school-based celebration, not a formal graduation. Students are encouraged to dress in smart, semi-formal attire, similar to what they might wear to a holiday gathering or special family event. There is no need for formal gowns, suits, or tuxedos. Our goal is for all students to feel comfortable, included, and able to enjoy this memorable evening together.

More details will be shared with families in the coming weeks after spring break.
