Message from Principal Oakes

With October right around the corner I want to stress the importance of our upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences.. On October 7 we will be hosting PT Conferences from 4:30 - 7:00 followed by October 9 from 3:30 - 6:30. This is a great opportunity to touch base with your students teachers and discuss their performance thus far for the 2025-2026 school year.

We also continue to highlight the last few days of Attendance Awareness Month. WHile September is Attendance Awareness Month as a school we believe every day is important! Attendance is a critical part of every students academic, social, and emotional success. Research shows that students who miss 10% or more of the school year (18 days) see long term negative impacts academically.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month

We will be highlighting statistics and information everyone in our school community can use to prevent bullying.
