Message from Mrs. Steele, Principal
Thank you to all of our staff, students and families for working together in these challenging times to support our children and each other! Please make sure your child is logging in every day, Monday-Friday, to respond to the attendance/learning question. Students should be completing all learning activities throughout the week as well. Please reach out to the teacher if you have any questions or concerns, so we can work together on solutions! We need to partner together to keep our students engaged, reading, thinking, learning and excelling in their education!
