Message from the Principal

Dear Families,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to a new school year! Our school is a place where every child is valued, every voice is heard, and every dream is nurtured. Together, we are building a community that celebrates learning, growth, and success for all students.

Our dedicated staff is ready to provide excellent instruction, meaningful opportunities, and a culture of respect and belonging. We are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where your child can thrive.

Family partnership is at the heart of what we do. When schools and families work together, children succeed, and I look forward to strengthening that partnership with each of you. Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education.

Let’s make this year one filled with achievement, joy, and new possibilities.

With Husky pride,

Melissa Bragg, Principal

Attention Families:
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that a school with certain exceptions obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, a school may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the school to the contrary in accordance with school district procedures.

Parents who wish to opt their students out of directory information releases must complete an Opt-Out Form for each of their students, and must return each form to the school at which each student is enrolled by December 13, 2024.
