Letter from Administration
Thank you for a great year!
We did it! We successfully navigated schooling during a world-wide pandemic, school closures, and economic conditions unprecedented in our lifetime. We have witnessed resilience from parents, teachers, and our students as we made instantaneous transitions, and we assumed roles for which we never trained. We have been a united learning community. Students, parents, and educators alike have all been asked to do more, and together we have achieved this monumental lift. Thank YOU!
Sincerely,
Bethany Merkling, Susan Borzych, Samantha Seniw

Virtual Parent Focus Groups: 2020/2021 School Year
As we look to next year and the design of our return to school program, we want to ensure that we are meeting the needs of our families. Your voice matters. Please consider participating in our parent focus groups this week. We realize that learning needs and necessary supports for student learning varies with age and have broken our groups by student grade level in order to promote discussion centering around the developmental needs of the target age group. If you have more than one child, you are invited to choose one group to attend or are certainly invited to attend multiple groups if your time allows.
