Dear Cardinal Families,
As the school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to our incredible students, dedicated staff, and wonderful families. This has been a year filled with growth, learning, and unforgettable memories. Thank you for your partnership, support, and dedication to making our school community so special.
Please note that this is our final weekly newsletter of the 2025-2026 school year. We will be taking a brief pause to let everyone rest and recharge. However, please keep an eye on your inbox in late July for a special summer update, which will include important information regarding class placements, school supplies, and key dates for the upcoming school year.
Wishing you all a safe, happy, and relaxing summer filled with sunshine and plenty of good books!
Warmly,
Allison Hoak, Principal
Jon Kemmerer, Assistant Principal

🎉6th Grade Promotion
What an incredible day! This morning, we officially celebrated our amazing 6th graders as they crossed the stage and were promoted to middle school.
To our promoted students: We are so incredibly proud of everything you have accomplished this year. You have shown resilience, leadership, and kindness, and while we will miss you dearly in our hallways, we know you are going to absolutely crush it in middle school!
A milestone this big doesn't happen without an extraordinary team. I want to extend a massive thank you to our phenomenal 6th-grade teachers: Ms. Mangels, Ms. Beans, Mr. Morrow, and Ms. Sheikh.
Thank you for your tireless dedication all year long, and for pouring so much energy into making this final week of school absolutely packed with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories for our students. You truly made this year special.
Families, thank you for partnering with us every step of the way!
