PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
A Fresh Start for the Second Half of the Year
As we begin the second half of the school year, this week offers a natural opportunity for a fresh start. January is a time to reset routines, reflect on progress, and recommit to goals: academically, socially, and personally.
Families should be receiving second marking period report cards in the mail next week. These reports are one snapshot in time and an opportunity to celebrate growth, identify areas for improvement, and partner together to support continued progress. If you have questions or concerns, we encourage you to reach out to your child’s teacher, communication and collaboration are key to success.
The freezing cold winter months can feel long and demanding, and we recognize the importance of balance, healthy routines, and patience with one another. Students are encouraged to put forth consistent effort, ask for help when needed, and remain engaged both in and beyond the classroom through academics, activities, and extracurricular opportunities.
Thank you to our families for your continued support and partnership. Together, we will make the second half of the year a positive, productive, and successful one for all students.
