A Message from the Principal

 
 
 
School is open!  I hope that you have had a safe, restful and enjoyable summer. 
 
This year will be one of our most challenging years.  Reaching student achievement is our major goal. 
 
I would like to thank all the parents for their cooperation in our
re-registration process.  This year look for new a Science curriculum that you, the parent, can access online through our school’s website.  Also, smartboards have been installed in every classroom.  Please take the time to drive by and notice our new landscaping that was completed by our wonderful neighbors.  Last, but not least, there is new playground equipment installed for the children’s enjoyment.
 
As a shared partner, I invite you to visit the school to discuss questions or concerns you may have relating to your child’s education.  I look forward to meeting you and welcome your support and partnership for an outstanding school year.
 
I wish all of you a healthy and productive school year.
 
Christine M. Sidwa
Principal
