PARENT LETTER FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

We have made it through the first week of school and I can say that our learning community is solidly on the path to a great school year! It was so good to see kids smiling, hear classrooms full of laughter, and feel the genuine joy of being back at school. We view our school community as family, and we are honored to welcome back our returning students and families and offer a heartfelt welcome to all of you who have joined us. It is with this in mind that I would like to personally invite all of you to our Back to School Night on Monday August 15th from 4:00-6:00 pm. This will be great opportunity to meet our teachers and staff, as well as connect with other parents. I look forward to seeing you all there and welcoming you to the CEC Fort Collins Middle School community.

Thank you for entrusting the education of your child to us.
