PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
As we wrap up the first week of a very cold February, I want to take a moment to encourage our students to continue practicing kindness, responsibility, and respect: values that matter every day, no matter the temperature outside. These traits help keep our school a welcoming, supportive place where everyone can learn and grow together.
In the coming weeks, we will be conducting Emergency Response Drills, including lockdown drills, as required by New York State. These drills are an important part of ensuring the overall safety and well-being of our students and staff. They will be approached thoughtfully and calmly, with an emphasis on preparedness rather than fear. We will also use these moments as opportunities to reinforce our shared values and to remind students that safety, respect, and responsibility go hand in hand.
Finally, a reminder to families whose children participate in our After School Program (ASP): this program depends on students being safe, respectful, and responsible at all times. If a student is not meeting these expectations, they may be suspended from the program. We ask that families take a few minutes to review these expectations with their child to help ensure a positive and safe experience for everyone.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support, especially during these chilly winter weeks. Together, we help set the tone for a caring, respectful school community.
