Principal's Message
I want to take a second to recognize our students, staff, and families for being so flexible and understanding over the last couple of weeks. We realize we are continuing to navigate through uncharted waters when dealing with Covid and unusual amounts of wintry weather for our area. Thank you all for everything you're doing to continue to support our school as we do our very best to provide the best learning environment for our students. All we ever ask for is grace and patience as we try to do what is best for each of our students. We are lucky to have such a wonderful student body, staff, and school community. Thank you all!
Have a great weekend!
