A Note from the Principal

Schools are dynamic places of change and growth & we are excited to announce some of the changes happening next year. Mrs. Holcomb will be joining the middle school team to teach ELA and Art to 6th- 8th grades. Mrs. Bennett will be teaching the second 4th-grade class next year, and Ms. Karamanukyan will be teaching 1st grade.  We will be converting our faculty room into a classroom and are planning our big construction project to begin soon. We are looking forward to an exciting new school year!

Skobels, our new uniform company, will be opening a store locally this summer (more details to follow). We recommend placing your order as early as possible to avoid delays in delivery. When purchasing new uniforms, please keep in mind that as of next year, all shorts and skirts should touch the knee. All polos should have the school logo on the left chest.
