Happy New Year!

The break was a much-needed opportunity for everyone to recharge, spend quality time with loved ones, and create lasting memories. I hope you all are well-rested, rejuvenated, and ready for an exciting new chapter as we return to school.

This time of year is crucial for resetting expectations and tailoring our support to each student. We are committed to fostering an environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning.

The spring calendar is full of events, opportunities for growth, and achievements! Stay connected through your PLC teams, announcements, Teams/GroupMe and this newsletter. Each of you play a crucial role in our students’ success, and only as a connected team focused on joyful culture and high expectations can we help students fly high in this spring semester!

As we return to school refreshed and restored, I am confident that we are ready for the challenges and triumphs that come our way. Together as one pack with one goal, we can make 2024 extraordinary. Wishing you all a fantastic start to the new year!

One Pack One Goal,
