Congratulations to Principal Matthew Slater, our staff, and students for fostering a school culture where every learner is supported and every family feels at home.

✨Clean Hands = Healthy Schools✨
As we head into the season of colds and flu, let’s remember one of the simplest (and most powerful!) ways to stay healthy: handwashing.
👉 Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds—especially before eating, after coughing/sneezing, and after using the restroom.
👉 Handwashing helps prevent the spread of colds, flu, and other germs that can impact learning.
👉 When soap and water aren’t available, hand sanitizer is a great backup.
Together, we can keep our classrooms safe, healthy, and ready for learning. 💙
