We are now less than two weeks away from welcoming students back for the 2023-24 school year! We are in high gear finalizing a variety of activities, such as hiring, personnel onboarding, schedules, handbooks, payroll changes, student registrations, orientation programs, and a number of major facility projects, among others. Everything is on track for the opening of school as we work our way toward the first day.My very best for a smooth and productive start to the 2023-24 school year for our students, staff, and families. Enjoy the remaining days of summer break and we’ll see you soon.
