We kindly invite you to join us this Friday, January 23, 2026 @ 8:30-9:30 a.m , for Coffee with the Principal. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about upcoming student testing as well as our ongoing process toward becoming an International Baccalaureate (IB) school. We value your partnership and welcome your thoughts, questions, and input as we continue working together to support our students and school community. We hope to see you there.
We’re celebrating the 100th Day of School by dressing like we’re 100 years old! Glasses, canes, gray hair, and all the “old-school” style welcome.
Join the fun and help us mark 100 days of learning, growth, and memories!
On January 22, the Lions Eye Program will be on campus to provide free eye exams and glasses for students.
If your student has failed a previous vision screening, requires a renewal, or is in need of a new eye exam and glasses, please visit the school office to obtain a permission slip so your student may participate in this program.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our school. We encourage you to take advantage of this valuable free service.
