Dear Parents,          
Happy New Year!
 I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Winter Break with your families! We are now entering our 7th week of the 2nd Marking Period.  We have 5 weeks left in the marking period. Progress notices were mailed out to all homes on Friday, Dec. 18th.  The end of the 2nd Marking Period is approaching quickly.  The end of the quarter is on Thursday, February 4th and Report Cards will be mailed out to parents during the week of February 8th. 

We are beginning to prepare for the reopening of our school. Important dates to remember are as follows: Jan. 11th- Pre-K students who were enrolled in the In-Person learning model will return to school Mon. - Fri. from 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.  Feb. 1st- Kdg.-6th grade students who enrolled in the In-Person learning model will return to school Mon., Tues., Thur., and Fri. from 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. 

Students who did not sign up for in-person learning will continue to receive instruction remotely. 
If any parent has decided to keep their child at home, you must notify the school office immediately so that we can remove them from the in-person model. 

​Parents may not change from remote to in-school learning at this time.
If you want to change your child’s learning model to in-school, you will need to wait until the end of 3rd Quarter.  Notifications will be sent to parents at a later time regarding a request to change to in-person.    

Thank you parents for your continuous support during these challenging times! We look
forward to having a better year in 2021 and celebrating our students’ successes!    Senalda R. Grady,  Principal
