Welcome back FALCONS!!! I hope this message finds you rested, recharged, and ready for an exciting year of growth and learning. It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome each of you—students, families, and staff—back to our school community for the 2025–2026 school year. As we begin the Fall semester, we will work to EMPOWER, EVOLVE, and ELEVATE your educational journey. Together, we continue to build a positive and inclusive school culture where all students feel valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their best. Our dedicated staff has been working hard to prepare classrooms and design engaging learning experiences that meet the needs of all students. To our returning students and families—welcome home. To our new families—thank you for joining us. You are now part of a school that believes deeply in the power of relationships, high expectations, and shared purpose. I encourage everyone to stay connected and involved throughout the year. Communication is key to a successful school experience, and we are here to partner with you every step of the way. Ensure you get connected and accept an invitation on Class Dojo. Our teachers and staff will be using this platform to communicate important messages for you. Let’s make this school year one of inspiration, achievement, and community. I look forward to seeing the halls filled with energy, laughter, and the excitement of learning. Warm regards, Vanessa L.
