From Our Principal

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! 

 

This year our theme is “Ready, Set, Go!”—a celebration of the energy, enthusiasm, and excellence that defines our school community. We are ready to build strong relationships, set high expectations for teaching and learning, and go full speed ahead towards both academic and social growth for every Tiger! Whether your student is returning or joining us for the first time, we are committed to making this year one of action, life-long learning opportunities, and joy.
 

Now more than ever, our students need home/school collaboration and partnering. Our dedicated team of teachers and staff is grateful for the role that you play in this rewarding work. Let’s make 
this year unforgettable. Together, we’ll cheer each other on, celebrate our growth, and keep moving forward.

​

-- Principal, Carmen Shepherd
