🚸 School success starts with showing up!

Every day in class = more learning, more growth, more opportunities.
Let’s make attendance a family priority. 💪

✨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. 💙

us September 11 Remembrance us

Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the families forever changed on September 11, 2001.

As a school community, we reflect on the importance of unity, resilience, and compassion. We are grateful to all first responders and service members who continue to protect and serve.

Let us never forget. 💙❤️🤍
