A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Greetings Parents, Guardians, and School Community!

I hope this message finds you well. As your principal, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and partnership. Our school community thrives when we work together to ensure the success and well-being of every student.

We are proud of the incredible learning, creativity, and growth that happened this school year.  Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment for all students. Your involvement—whether it's helping with homework, attending school events, or simply checking in with your child about their day—makes a big difference.

Please stay connected with us over summer recess through our school website, social media, and email to learn about upcoming family events and new policies for the September 2025 school year. Your voice matters, and we welcome your ideas and feedback as we continue to grow together.

Thank you for being a vital part of our school community. We’re excited about the journey ahead and grateful to be working alongside you to support your child’s education.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Marines Arrieta-Cruz
