Director’s Message for Families
Dear families, It’s wonderful to see the spring weather finally approaching after a long winter. And while I’m sure we are all ready to look ahead to warmer weather, I want to acknowledge that many in our communities had to navigate a challenging situation during the recent ice storm. Thank you to the staff, students and families who came together and showed a real sense of community during a difficult time.
