The good news is that our Book Character Parade has been rescheduled for this Friday, and we are excited to still celebrate together!

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing mid-winter break. We are excited to have our students back in the building and ready for learning.

As we return, Michigan weather continues to fluctuate from day to day. Please remember to send your child to school dressed in layers so they are comfortable both indoors and outside. Students will continue to go outside for recess whenever weather permits, so coats, hats, gloves, and appropriate footwear are still important.
