Hello Families,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at our orchestra and choir concerts this past week. Our students did a great job, and it was rewarding to see their hard work come together. Thank you to Ms. Sartori and Ms. Brown for their efforts with our students, and to everyone who came out to support them.

Next week will be a busy one with conferences, early dismissal each day at 12:15 p.m., and Spirit Week.

Conferences are a great opportunity to connect with teachers about how the year is going, ask questions, and discuss ways to support students. We are also looking forward to the fun and energy of Spirit Week. The schedule can be found below.

I hope everyone has a great weekend, and we look forward to seeing you next week.

Sincerely,

Principal Hauschka
