Welcome back to the 2025-2026 school year!

There is a special kind of energy on campus as a new school year begins-the buzz of students finding their classrooms, the sight of friends reuniting, and the shared sense of a fresh start. It's a feeling of pure potential, and our entire staff is thrilled to have our hallways filled with that energy once again.

We are excited to kick off the year by inviting you to Meet the Teacher Night tonight, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This is a wonderful opportunity for you and your child to visit their classrooms, meet their teachers, and drop off school supplies before the first day. We also invite you to leave a note of encouragement for our teachers. Look for their named folders near the front doors and share your hopes for the school year with them.

This year, our focus is on partnership. We know that student success is a team effort, built on a strong connection between the school and our families. We are committed to working alongside you to support your child's growth, both in the classroom and beyond.

I look forward to seeing you on campus this evening. Let's make this a fantastic year together.

Go Panthers!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Wilson, Principal
