On October 6-10, we will be celebrating the Week of Respect! Throughout the week, students will participate in activities and discussions that promote kindness, empathy, and inclusion. It’s a great opportunity to reinforce the importance of treating others with respect—both in and out of the classroom. We look forward to a meaningful and engaging week together!

They're here! We are so delighted to welcome all students to school for their first day. We hope everyone enjoyed meeting their teachers, making friends, learning new schedules and getting the new year underway!
