Welcome from the Principal

April 1, 2025

Greetings Students, Parents, and Community Members,

We are halfway through the final quarter of the 2024-2025 school year. Let’s finish strong by attending school daily with a positive attitude. I commend our students for their hard work and resilience this year, which we celebrated on April 11th during the third-quarter awards program. I am proud of their growth and achievements.

It is spring, which means it's time for EOC testing. EOC testing will continue until Wednesday, April 30th. Our students need to be well-prepared. We encourage you to support your child by ensuring they attend school for intervention sessions and that they get enough rest and a nutritious breakfast on the days of the EOCs. Please refer to the EOC Incentive flyer for information on the criteria and incentives. Remember, EOCs do affect graduation requirements.

Finally, please mark your calendars for our upcoming event on Thursday, May 15th: the ECAC End of Year Celebration and Awards from 12:15 to 2:00 PM. Your involvement is crucial to our community, and we appreciate your continued support.

Thank you for being an essential part of our school community. Together, we can ensure a successful and fulfilling end to the academic year for our learners.

Warm regards,

Dr. Pames
