Dear Parents/Guardians: It is hard to believe that November is already behind us and that we are approaching the winter months. As we begin to experience more inclement weather, please be reminded that I will be communicating directly to you through the REMIND notification service if we have bus cancellations or school closures. Over the past few months, I have had the opportunity to observe amazing lessons in which our students are fully engaged in learning concepts, skills and improving overall competency levels. Teachers and support staff are working hard to ensure we get our students to progress and to meet academic standards. I would like to commend our parents/guardians for the wonderful values being taught at home. Walking the corridors throughout the day, one is greeted with a smiling “Good morning,” “Good afternoon,” or “Bonjour!” Doors are held open for others and students are glad to help with responsibilities around the school like recycling, tidying up the class, composting, decorating and announcements. This certainly enhances the school climate and makes coming to work a true joy for this principal. On behalf of the members of our dedicated staff, I would like to wish you and your family a safe and wonderful holiday season, a Merry Christmas and a Happy Chanukah to all who celebrate these traditions. -Eldon Keon STUDENT RECOGNITION ASSEMBLY We will hold our Student Recognition Assembly on Dec. 3.
