Dear Families,

Happy Friday! Thank you for joining us last night for Back to School night. It was great to connect with so many parents and families. We will have more opportunities to connect at our first Parent Coffee on October 18 at 9:00 am in the cafeteria, as well as our Thanksgiving luncheon on November 15. Stay tuned for more information coming soon! On November 3, we are planning a special surprise for students who are here at school that day. They won't want to miss out! 

Sincerely, 

Ms. Casablanca
