It is of the utmost importance to me that each student receives the best education while preparing to be college and career-ready. My dedication to ensuring our students feel supported and safe throughout their educational journey extends beyond the classroom experience.

We ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she:

1) Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience

2) Completes all homework assignments given by teachers

3) Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills

4) Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life

5) Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject

6) Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in school and go on to college

Please consider joining our school volunteer program. Our students will benefit from your involvement with our school.
