Letter from Your Principal

Happy Summer everyone! It’s hard to believe that school is out for the summer. J This year we will be having our summer enrichment program from June 12th through July 14th. Students will enjoy 45 minutes of reading enrichment, 45 minutes of math enrichment, 45 minutes of iReady reading and math in the computer lab, and 45 minutes of project based learning for a total of 3 hours daily. Teachers are getting a much deserved break to regroup and refresh for next school year. As we all know, it will be here before we know it! As teachers are only here one week each this summer, please reach out to me if you have questions about our programming. The new school year will begin on July 31st. In the mean-time, students will be enjoying many recreational therapy activities including our awesome pool! Let’s all take the time to relax and work on our happiness and well-being over the next two months. Enjoy everyone! ~Ms. Christina
