Happy New Year, RSPA-NW Families!
 
Historically, the month of January has been about optimism, new beginnings and positive change. The New Year is a perfect time to reflect on the previous year and consider new goals, which helps put positive change in motion. A new year also guides in a sense of renewal - a renewal of purpose and commitment to excellence in teaching, learning and service to our community. 
 
As we embark on a new year and a new semester, I would like to extend a warm welcome back to all our students, staff members, volunteers and families who contribute to the success of RSPA-NW. We had a fruitful first semester and are looking forward to an equally productive second semester. As we begin again, I am excited about our potential for growth and look forward to the exciting days ahead. 
 
It is our distinct privilege to serve your family. Thank you for entrusting your child's education with us.

Sincerely,
Mr. Charles Russell
Principal
