Principal’s Message

Greetings Mighty Eagles,

Time really flies! I cannot believe that we are already at the mid-point of the school year. Overall, we

have had a great first semester, and hopefully we will have an even better one the second semester.

Therefore, please ensure that your child is here on time (7:30) and ready to learn each day.

Nine weeks testing will begin on December 13th and continue through the 20th. We will dismiss school at

1:00 p.m. on the 20th, and resume at its regularly scheduled time on January 8th. Staff will return on

January 4th.

Thank you all for all you do, and please continue to support us in every endeavor.

Mr. Young
