Principal / PTO Update 9.20.20

Dear families,

Welcome back to an unusual and challenging new school year.  Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make our orientation days a success, and especially to all your kids for following directions and adjusting to the different situation.  It was a joy to see everyone, even with all of us in masks!  We all appreciated the sweet welcome back signs around the outside of the school, too.
