So Good to See You!

Highlight does not begin to describe our happiness for the return to campus for our hybrid students!  With great excitement, our elementary and middle school campuses welcomed in-person students back to campus in a hybrid schedule.  Masks could not hide the smiles on our students, parents and staff's faces as students came back into our classrooms.  Thank you to all of our families for your continuous support of our students and the safe return to school.  Keeping our kids in class is truly a partnership between home and school and we are grateful for all that you continue to do to make this a successful transition!
