From the Principal

A Hopeful 2021 Ahead.

Dear Parents, In my last Principal’s Message of 2020, I want to take this opportunity to extend my deep appreciation and admiration for this amazing community.  The last nine months have tested all of us, both professionally and personally.  With the combination of a respected school Safety Plan, parents and staff making good personal safety choices, […]

The Good Samaritan and the Pandemic

Today I participated in a leadership conference with all CISVA principals and our Superintendent’s office.  We are normally offsite for 3 days for this conference, but it was reduced to one virtual day this year.  The theme of the conference was Care for Self, Care for Others, and focused heavily on mental health through the theme of […]

Happy Summer!
