Weekly Letter from Principal Joe Hansen
Progress Report Night is set for Tuesday of next week. This night begins at 5:30 p.m. and provides a great opportunity to work with your child’s teacher and solidify the parent-teacher relationship that is essential to a student’s success. Since time may be limited, I suggest that you bring a list of questions. I've made a few suggestions.

In my 25+ years in education I have learned that when you work with young people, it often comes down to trust. I was reminded of that fact during two recent events.
