Dear Families, We made it! As the halls grow quiet and the sun gets brighter, I want to take a moment to celebrate an incredible school year. I am so deeply proud of our students for their hard work, resilience, and the joy they brought into our building every single day. To our summer school participants, welcome to our 2026 Summer Session! I am thrilled to welcome your children back to campus for a few weeks of focused learning, growth, and summer fun. Summer school is a fantastic opportunity. Our amazing team of educators has put together a vibrant, engaging program designed to boost your child’s confidence, sharpen their skills, and keep their minds active. We balance target academic support with plenty of high-energy, positive activities to make sure school still feels like summer! Thank you for partnering with us to keep your child’s learning momentum going. If you have any questions or need assistance, my door is always open. Let’s make it a great session! To our families, thank you for your unwavering partnership, support, and trust during the year. We couldn’t do what we do without you. Whether you are traveling, visiting local parks, or just enjoying some well-deserved lazy mornings, I hope this summer brings your family plenty of rest, laughter, and adventure. A quick principal’s request for the break: Keep reading! Even 15 minutes a day makes a massive difference. Play outside, explore new hobbies, and just enjoy being kids. To our departing fifth graders, we will miss you terribly but know you are going to do amazing things in middle school. To the rest of our families, I already look forward to welcoming you back in August, refreshed and ready for a brand-new adventure. Have a safe, happy, and wonderful summer! With warm regards, Vanessa L. Ortegon
