Greetings Dolphin Families,

 

As we close out the last week of the quarter, it’s hard to believe how quickly the year is flying by! Our students and staff have been working hard, and their dedication continues to shine. As we head into trackout, I encourage everyone to take time to rest, recharge, and reflect on the incredible progress we've made. When we return, we’ll be diving into Quarter 4, which will move quickly as we push toward the finish line of a successful school year. Let’s make the most of these last months together, staying focused, engaged, and committed to growth.

 

Spirit Week: Let’s finish this quarter with a splash! Get ready to show off your school spirit because we’re celebrating with a week-long Spirit Week! Check out the link for the flier. Students and staff, let’s make everyday fun, festive, and full of energy as we head into our final week of the quarter!

 

Rising 6th Grader Open House: Join us for our Rising 6th Grader Open House, tomorrow, 3/24/25 at 4:30 PM, as we welcome our future middle schoolers and their families! This is a great opportunity to meet our staff, tour the school, and learn more about the programs and opportunities awaiting your child.

 

Snow Make Up Day: Please remember that Monday, March 31 will be a snow make-up day for our school. This means students are expected to attend school as usual to make up for the instructional time missed due to inclement weather.

 

Track out Begins: Please also note that trackout begins on Tuesday, April 1. We hope everyone enjoys a well-deserved break!
