Message from the Principal

Parents, our school staff will be working with you so that together, as partners, we can provide the best possible education for your child in a nurturing environment that is student centered and positive. Your commitment is an important part of our educational process and communication is the key to assuring a successful year for your child.

We believe children should learn the academic and social skills to give them the traits necessary to become independent, responsible, life-long learners. While instilling the importance of the treating each other responsibly and always trying to do your best, we have created three school rules: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe. Everyone is a “Star.”
