Dear Students, Families, and Staff,
As we send out this week's final Weekly Kickoff for the 2024-2025 school year, we want to take a moment to reflect on the journey we've shared as a school community. This 2024-2025 school year brought many twists and turns, from weather to unexpected disruptions, but our greatest success has been the way our school community came together with incredible strength, unity, and resilience. 

Thank you for all your support in helping your child- and all our students- succeed this year. 
We are excited for the 2025- 2026 school year and look forward to working together to make it our best year yet!
