Principal's Message

Dear Families,

Welcome to an exciting new school year! I hope you all had a restful summer and are ready for a year filled with growth, learning, and community.

We are proud to continue building on the success of our Dual Immersion Program, which has grown stronger each year. Our students are not only becoming bilingual and biliterate—they are also developing cultural understanding and global readiness.

Last year, our efforts toward academic excellence paid off! Our improved student data reflects the dedication of our staff, students, and families working together to ensure meaningful academic progress. This year, we will continue using data to inform instruction and meet the needs of every learner.

We are also thrilled to share that we have been recognized as a Platinum PBIS School! This honor reflects our deep commitment to creating a positive, safe, and supportive school climate where all students feel valued and ready to learn.

Lastly, we know that attendance matters. Every day counts, and being present at school ensures students have the best chance at success. Let’s work together to make attendance a top priority from day one.

Thank you for being an essential part of our school community. We’re looking forward to a year filled with collaboration, achievement, and joy.

Deette (DeeDee) Wilson
