  • May Principal's Letter

    May 7, 2026 



    Dear Families,

    As we step into the beautiful month of May, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to you—our families—for the incredible partnership, trust, and support you show our school each and every day. Your encouragement, involvement, and belief in our work truly make a difference, and we are so thankful to walk this journey alongside you.

    This week, we are proud and excited to celebrate Staff Appreciation Week, a time when we honor ALL of the amazing adults who serve our students with dedication, compassion, and heart. Every day, our staff members go above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and joyful learning environment for children. Their work is done with love, patience, and unwavering commitment—even on the days when the work is hard and the hours are long.

    From our teachers, educational assistants, and service providers, to our guidance staff, school social workers, psychologists, administrators, office staff, cafeteria team, custodial staff, and every member of our school community—each person plays an essential role in supporting our students and families. It truly takes a village, and we are so fortunate to have such an extraordinary one.

    We invite you to join us this week by taking a moment to say thank you. A kind word, a note of appreciation, or simply letting a staff member know they are seen and valued goes a very long way. Your support and recognition mean more to our staff than you may realize.

    As we continue through the final stretch of the school year, please know how grateful we are for your partnership and trust. Together, we will finish the year strong—celebrating growth, perseverance, and the shared commitment we all have to our children’s success.

    With heartfelt appreciation and gratitude,

    Gina Dawson
     Principal
