From the Desk of Alice Jones

April 12, 2013,

Dear Parents and Guardians,

During these early days of spring, most of us look back at how swiftly the school year has moved. Our sixth graders have grown into full-fledged middle schoolers; seventh graders are itchy to be eighth graders; and eighth graders resemble the ninth graders they will soon become.

May you and your family enjoy a healthy, pleasant, and warm spring break. When our students return, we look forward to continuing the learning in the same spirit of our first three quarters. Please remind your child to arrive to school on time each day, dressed appropriately for learning.

Warmly,
Alice Jones
