Thank you!
Sending you the most heartfelt of appreciations on your advocacy for our air conditioning to be fixed.  We are so happy to share that rooms have been comfortable throughout the week after a team came to fully resolve the issue.

Early Arrival Planning
​

Safety remains top of mind as we enter the new year with all of our students in-person.  To ensure students remain in pods to the greatest extent possible, we ask that only families that absolutely need to drop their children off between 7:45 and 8:10.  Students will be eating breakfast in their classrooms at the start of the school day.  The early arrival time will not be the same social gathering and communal breakfast time that it was in our pre-COVID times.
