Director's Message

Dear Patriot Families,

As we near the end of another month, I find myself reflecting on the whirlwind of activities and accomplishments that March has brought to our school community. From successful spring performances to heartfelt celebrations of our teachers and students of the year, from the delicious triumphs of our Krispy Kreme and pizza lunch fundraisers to the joy captured in our beautiful spring picture day, it's been an eventful month filled with memorable moments.

Also, as we completed another productive nine weeks, we were thrilled to engage in rewarding parent-teacher conferences and to share the progress and achievements of our students through their report cards.

In addition to these highlights, I am delighted to announce that we recently conducted our first-ever lottery for new families seeking admission for the 2024-2025 school year. The response has been overwhelming, with more applications received than we have available spots in many grades. This demonstrates the growing interest and trust in our school's mission and educational approach, and we are truly honored by the continued support and enthusiasm from our community.

As we move into April, I am excited about the opportunities and experiences that lie ahead for our students, staff, and families. Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. Here's to another successful month ahead!

Go Patriots!

Core Virtues Highlights

This month we recognized students embodying our Core Virtues by choosing one exceptional student from each classroom who exemplifies the virtue most frequently. This past month, our focus shifted to the virtue of Honesty and Justice, that is defined as loving the truth, telling the truth and living truthfully in word and deed.

We are so proud of our February Core Virtue-Honesty and Justice- Students of the Month.
