Weekly Howler: Week of May 18, 2026

Campus Updates & Reminders:

Big kudos to all of our 3rd through 6th graders for completing their state testing! We will be conducting make ups for any students still needing to complete sections of the test.

As stated in my email earlier this week, Mr. Derek Brothers will be stepping in as my principal sub for the remainder of the year beginning next Thursday. If you have any questions or concerns during my absence, please feel free to reach out to Mr. Brothers at [email protected]. I will have weekly Howlers scheduled to send to families during my absence to continue to keep you informed about the happenings on campus as we finish out the year. Thank you again for your understanding as I take time to care for my son. All of the kind words for our family have been greatly appreciated.
