PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back from spring break! I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable week and is ready to finish the school year strong. As we return, we enter the final quarter – an important time to focus, stay motivated, and make the most of every learning opportunity.
For our students in grades 3-8, we are in the midst of state testing. These assessments are a chance for you to demonstrate what you’ve learned and how hard you’ve worked all year. I encourage each of you to do your best, take your time, and show what you know and can do. Remember, your effort and perseverance are more important than your scores.
With the warmer weather upon us, please also remember our expectations for appropriate school attire. Clothing should be comfortable for the season but also promote a respectful and serious learning environment. Please avoid clothing that is too brief or revealing. Let’s help each other maintain a positive and focused atmosphere for learning.
Let’s finish the year on a high note by supporting one another, working hard, and making great choices—both in the classroom and throughout our school community.
Let’s make this quarter our best yet!
Mr. Yorke
