A message from the Principal |
|
Hello Diablos,
As 1st Semester is now officially over, I feel it is important to take time to reflect on the past five months. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we have stayed strong and resilient as a school community. As I shared with teachers/staff earlier today, I am proud of their dedication and commitment to student learning. I hope everyone in our Diablo family can rest and recharge over the winter break. I wish everyone a safe and healthy holiday season. I look forward to seeing you in 2021!
Mrs. Osborne
