Dear Families, We are thankful for you! As we prepare to take time off from school November 22-24 for break, we are very grateful. We thank: Our students and their families who do their best to show up to class every day even when it isn’t easy. Our teachers who have gone above and beyond to help make school a welcoming learning environment where students can thrive. Our administrators who help us work together to ensure we are healthy and safe, feel a sense of community and experience the excitement of an engaging learning environment. Our many, many healers and helpers - the support staff and community volunteers who provide the extra hands and attention our children need. May these days off be restful and healing. If your family or your child needs support, please reach out to your student's principal for help. We look forward to seeing you again when school resumes on Monday November 27th. Thank you for partnering with us!
