What we hear from parents… You want your child to go to a high performing school and do well. You love your kids and want the best for them. You tell your kids when they do well and when they need to do differently. You find enjoyment in activities with your children. You send us the smartest, most well-behaved kids you have. You trust us because you send your child to school everyday.

Communication: We want to Get to Know You and Let You Know Us Phone call, note, …we are glad to hear from you. We are professionals who are here to co-educate your child. We will do everything to assist you and help you. Please make sure you let us know your thoughts. We’re here to work together to have your children do great things. We send home important information in print form. Please be sure to check backpacks or the virtual backpack on a daily basis. Update your information. New number, disconnection, new emergency contact? Please send a note or call with new information. This is important for your child’s safety.

The example you set will be followed by the little ones. Remember, they’re always watching us…let’s show them what matters. Love and Hug One Another! Parting thought…
