The first month of school has been quite the adventure. So many highs, some lows, and everything in between. It’s been really hard sometimes-no playbook and no roadmap. But through it all, we’re so proud of what we’ve accomplished and we will continue to do the best we can for our students. We will fight through adversity and rise above to prepare them for their future.
Whether you’re a student learning in-person, on full remote learning, or you’re currently on quarantine, we’re proud of you. We’re very thankful for an amazing faculty and staff who continue to focus on teaching and learning to do what’s best for students. They’re putting their heart and soul into teaching and it’s not easy during a pandemic. So much about teaching has changed since COVID-19 arrived and sometimes we’re learning as we go. It’s hard.
Our faculty and staff continue to plan and prepare to engage our students, clean our school and campus, and create a positive school culture for everyone. They care about what they do and continue to find ways to make things work. Our parents and community have been behind us as well, we feel it, and we appreciate it. We can’t do it without your support.
It’s truly been a team effort to accomplish what we have since school began on August 17. We know it’s not been perfect and there’s more work to do, but our community should be proud of what we’ve done.
Thank you to our students, our faculty and staff, and our community. Whatever happens moving forward, we will continue to do the best we can with the resources we have for everyone. Thanks for your continued patience, support, and understanding. We’ve got this. #BulldogStrong
