End of Year Message

Dear families, As we wrap up another school year, we want to take a moment to reflect on the accomplishments, growth and milestones that have shaped this year. We began this year with the launch of our new Multi-Year Strategic Plan, set by the Board of Trustees. The plan outlines three key priorities that shape our work and commitment to students: Student Achievement, Health and Well-Being, and Human Rights and Inclusive Education.

Director’s Message for Families - June 2025

Each month, we take time to recognize Heritage and History Months. While our commitment to safe, inclusive, and identity-affirming spaces is year-round, these months give us a chance to pause, reflect and celebrate the strength of our communities.

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.
