Happy Summer Everyone

Wow, what a school year, as we finish the 2020-2021 school year, I'd like to congratulate all the students for their perseverance!

When I think back on this past school year, I know that it took the collective efforts of the amazing Borel staff for it to be a success. We truly had to lean on each other. It is an awesome thing to see, the strength, courage, and humility of the human spirit.

Parents, I am extremely grateful for your support throughout the school year and how you embraced our transition from Full-time Distance Learning to the Phased Hybrid. Thank you for your partnership as we navigated a very unique school year.

Currently, the middle school team is finalizing the bell schedule for next year. Once the bell schedule is complete, we will share the information with families and have an opportunity for questions on June 21, 2021, from 10:30 to 11:00 am. Please note this date and time and lookout for a Zoom meeting link to join this Q&A session.

Wishing everyone a fun and relaxing summer break!
