Principal's Corner


Hello Dragon Families,


As we wrap up the first month of school, thanks for coming to Back To School Night, supporting our teachers, and learning about our programs. We are grateful that over 70 parents registered for background checks to volunteer as field trip chaperones during BTSN. Many of those parents also pursued getting our highest level of clearance by also filling out additional forms to register as potential field trip drivers. We recognize this requires an ample amount of paperwork and we thank you for taking the time to complete those requirements!


Our PTC Pledge Drive also began last week. Your direct donations go directly to the PTC to support many important programs. Some of these include offering more enrichment opportunities for students to learn in LifeLab, participate in student assemblies, get tutoring support from our paraeducators, increase access to the library, and improve the recess experience for our students. Your donations also promote after school community experiences like movie night, picnics, and of course, the Spring Carnival.

As a community and a school, we appreciate your support of what we do for our Dragons.


With gratitude,

Thien Hua - Principal
