This is our last couple of days for the 2019-2020 school year. Although our traditional classroom experience was interrupted with a pandemic, the first few months were wonderful. I will miss everyone and hope the best for the future. Enjoy your upcoming summer break!

The following is a short letter for the importance of filling out the census. If you have not completed it yet, please follow the link and complete.

Dear Parent(s),

Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources based on census data.

For a better future of our city, schools, and students , please click on the link now and fill out the census. It only takes a few minutes from your time to make a difference.

We’re in our final two weeks of school and many students have done a wonderful job completing the required assignments. Students who did not have the opportunity to finish the assignments, will have the final weeks to do so. Therefore, our final weeks of school will be dedicated to students who need to make up any missing work and will have until June 8, 2020 to take advantage of this opportunity. There will not be any new assignments posted for students to complete.
