Welcome Back Cardinals!

The countdown is on, Cardinals! A new school year is just around the corner, and we are excited to welcome our students and families back for another year of learning, growing, and making memories together.


As we prepare to open our doors, we want to make sure families have the information they need for a smooth start to the school year. In this eNewsletter, you’ll find important first-day dates, and back-to-school information, along with an introduction to the new staff members joining our Cardinal family.

We hope you’ve had a wonderful summer and are ready for an exciting year ahead. We can’t wait to see our hallways filled with students again and begin another great year together!



Welcome back, Cardinals—we’re so glad you’re here!
