The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph
We are working on class placement for our students and anticipate releasing that information soon. You will be notified via email when class placements can be viewed on Blackbaud. Don’t forget to buy your student’s school supplies. Please bring the supplies with you to our Meet My Teacher Day on Monday, August 8th. This will be an exciting day for you and your child, as you will be able to visit the classroom and meet your child’s teacher! Please see the details below regarding our Back to School Events. Our first full day of school is Tuesday, August 9th.
