A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
How is it that summer always seems to fly by so quickly? It feels like we just wrapped up the 2024–25 school year, and now we’re feverishly preparing for an amazing 2025–26! Each school year seems to pass faster than the last.
With the emotions of graduation still fresh and the conversations with families still in mind, it’s a powerful reminder to make every moment count. The growth and transformation that happen throughout the 4K–12 journey are truly remarkable. Truly, they go by much faster than we realize.
So, take time to savor each step. Whether it’s the bittersweet moment of sending your little one off to full-day kindergarten, the excitement (and maybe a few nerves) of the first day of middle school, or the mix of pride and worry as your “baby” starts learning to drive, every stage is filled with milestones and memories to be cherished.
Whatever step your student is heading into, know that we are so excited to welcome them back! Our staff have been working tirelessly to create meaningful learning opportunities that will help your child grow, learn, and succeed.
If you’re new to our district, welcome! We are honored to partner with you on this incredible journey. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. We’re here to help.
Enjoy these remaining weeks of summer, and make each day count. I’m sure the parents of our recent graduates would agree–this journey goes by in the blink of an eye!
