To the parents, students, and community,

We are looking forward to a great school year for 2026-2027!

While we want our students to unplug, keeping their minds gently active prevents the "summer slide.

" Here are a few easy ways to keep the spark alive:

• The 20-Minute Rule: Encourage your child to read for just 20 minutes a day. It can be comic books, novels, or audiobooks—it all counts!

• Real-World Math: Have your child help with cooking measurements, calculating change at the grocery store, or planning a road trip budget.

• Embrace Boredom: Some of the best creativity happens when kids are "bored." Let them build forts, invent games, or explore the backyard.

📅 Looking Ahead to the Fall

While the school building is quiet, our administrative team is already hard at work preparing for an exceptional upcoming year. Please keep an eye on your inbox for returning student registration snapcodes.
