Good Afternoon Families.
This has been quite a school year! Despite the many challenges and changes that occurred throughout the year, our students persevered, and our wonderful teachers and parents/guardians worked extremely hard to ensure this school year was a success! We are grateful to all our families for partnering with us and continuing to remain flexible as we navigated through the various changes that came along. We are fortunate to be part of such a supportive community and are looking forward to returning to five days of in-person instruction this fall.
I would like to congratulate our 6th grade students who will be moving on to middle school this fall. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the families of these students for their tremendous support over the years. We wish all of you the very best!
Take care and have a wonderful summer.
Sincerely,
Greg Brotemarkle
Principal
