Message From the Compliance Officer |
I wanted to thank all of our families and staff for doing such a wonderful job at keeping our community safe. We've had ZERO covid-19 outbreaks on campus. Following the Pasadena Department of Public Health's orders and safety procedures are not always convenient, but are proving effective at keeping our school open and our kids on campus.
Let's continue to work together, wear masks and stay home when not feeling 100%. We'll get through this together. Go Falcons!

Gratefully yours,
