Dear Families,
What a wonderful first week we've had! It’s been such a joy to welcome your children back to school and watch them settle into their classrooms, reconnect with friends, and begin building relationships with their teachers.
We’ve spent these first few days focusing on routines, creating a safe and supportive environment, and laying the foundation for a successful year of learning and growth. Thank you for your partnership, your encouragement, and the trust you place in us each day.
We’re looking forward to a year filled with meaningful learning, joyful moments, and continued collaboration with you. If you ever have questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
Ashlee Duncan, Principal

We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is key to student success, and we hope you can join us!
