Campus Updates & Reminders:
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break with your friends and family. The next three weeks are jam-packed as we get ready for another extended break at the end of the month. This is a crucial time to help your students remained engaged and motivated for school. Keeping a schedule during the next few weeks and remaining consistent with school expectations will assist your student as we continue instruction.
