As we embark upon another change today I wanted to thank you in advance for your flexibility, endurance and positivity this year. The kids will need guidance, extra understanding and kindness as we stay together as one school community.
I hope everyone enjoys their extra day on Monday and you get to take advantage of some extra rest and relaxation
