Dear Dragon Families,
As we approach the last day of school tomorrow, we want to remind you that there will be a 2-hour early release, and we will dismiss students at 1:35 PM.
We are also excited to celebrate our 6th Grade Promotion tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM. Please ensure you are seated before 9:00 to share in this special moment with us. Our 6th graders have been an incredible part of our school community, and we will deeply miss their energy, enthusiasm, and leadership. Their curiosity, kindness, and determination have made a lasting impact, and we know they will continue to achieve great things in the future.
Thank you for all of your support throughout this school year. We hope you and your families have a wonderful, peaceful summer filled with joy and relaxation. We look forward to seeing everyone return refreshed and ready for another fantastic year.
We will miss you,
Kate Beckner, Proud Principal
