Messages from the Secondary Principal

Dear parents,  We are excited to share two new initiatives designed to help build community and encourage growth in our middle and high school programs. First, last week students will attended the second of our monthly assemblies.

Each month during the assemblies we will recognize a small number of students who have made noticeable effort or shown growth in the areas of compassion, teamwork, commitment to learning, creativity, or making positive connections with others.

Dear parents, We look forward to seeing you this Friday at 2:00 for our Carnaval celebration. Students have been busy learning traditional dances and are excited (and a bit nervous!) to perform them for you. Please come and cheer them on! Also, there is no school next Monday and Tuesday (February 12 & 13) due to the Carnaval holiday. Classes will resume on Wednesday, February 14. We have a substantial collection of clothing that students have left behind over the past several months. Please stop by the front gate this week to pick up any missing items. Because our storage capacity has been reached, all Lost & Found clothing will be donated to charity after this Friday, February 9.
