Principal's Message
Conrad Families -
Thank you to all of our families for your support during Homecoming festivities—whether it was helping with Spirit Week, joining us at the parade, or chaperoning the dance. It was a successful week, and our students truly enjoyed celebrating and engaging with the spirit of community. We are also proud of the hard work and dedication our Fall sports teams have shown, with many of them looking towards tournament competition. Your encouragement means so much to our athletes. Looking ahead, we’ll continue to need your support as we prepare for our first middle school dance of the school year and work together to close out the first marking period on a strong note.
