We are so thankful for the patience, support, and teamwork our families have shown during this stretch of winter weather. As conditions continue to improve, please know that we will always prioritize the safety of our students and staff. Please use caution in the morning on sidewalks and parking lots and dress warm as it will be very cold.
I also understand that some families may still be experiencing challenges related to road conditions, transportation, or other weather-related impacts. As your principal, I will continue using my best judgment and working closely with families to support individual needs during this time. If your family is still facing difficulties, please donāt hesitate to reach out to your childās teacher or our front office so we can partner together.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and for being such a strong, caring school community. Our Little Dragons always come first! ā¤ļøš²
