Administrator’s Message

Welcome Back!

We are pleased to welcome the students, staff and parents back to school. The return to school will look different than it has in previous years. The administration and staff has been working very hard to prepare the building for a safer return to school. Students have been grouped into cohorts, will have separate entry and exit doors and will eat lunch in their classrooms. A Return to School slide presentation was sent to families via email recently with more details. Our staff look forward to working with parents, guardians and community members as we patiently figure out this “new normal” together.

We are pleased to welcome the following new (and returning) staff members to our school:
