Summer Reminder for Families!

We know summer has just begun and we hope you’re enjoying every minute! But as we all know, summer has a way of flying by, and before you know it, the new school year will be here.

This is a great time to take care of those important dentist and doctor appointments while schedules are more flexible. If appointments need to happen during the school year, be sure to use our school calendar to help plan visits on days off whenever possible.

Thank you for your continued support of our students—especially when it comes to attendance. You did an amazing job this past year making sure your children were present and ready to learn, and we truly appreciate your partnership!
