Principal's Message

Dear Parents/Guardians:                                

Welcome back to the 2024-2025 school year!  We hope you had a wonderful and relaxing summer vacation and are ready with your children to begin a new school year!

We look forward to providing a continuous educational process – 3K through 5th Grade. 

Your children’s learning progress will be monitored monthly and periodic parent reports will be issued to you.  In November, and in March, we urge you to attend Parent/Teacher Conferences to discuss your child’s developing progress. We would like to see every parent as we will not send home report cards with the students at these times. We hope you will remain in close contact with your child’s teacher to follow your child’s progress, as well as lending your support to your child throughout the academic year.   We encourage your involvement in the school throughout the year!

On behalf of the Staff and myself, we welcome you to the start of a great new school year!

 Sincerely,

Shirley Torres, Principal
