Dress Up Days outlined for the 2026-2027 school year

Congratulations to our kindergarten through 5th grade students who have worked incredibly hard during Summer Intervention! These last three weeks, our students have focused on mastering reading and math skills and building confidence as learners! We are so proud of their dedication, perseverance, and growth. Their commitment to learning has paid off, and we can't wait to see them continue to succeed in the coming school year! Today, we celebrated their last day of Summer Intervention with some Independence Day fun and festivities. It was a wonderful way to recognize all of their hard work while enjoying time together with friends and teachers!

See you all back on August 3rd for Open House!
