Congratulations

Congratulations on being recognized as a Michigan Reward School for the second year in a row! As you know, a school needs a letter grade of an “A” in one of three categories: growth, proficiency, or performance amongst peers. And for the second year in a row, we received an “A” in all three categories.

I know the work that we do is not easy. Impacting the lives of so many children is a great privilege, but also a huge responsibility. 

Thank you for being THAT adult to our students!  Our purpose is not easy, but it's powerful. We are positive contributors to future change that our world desperately needs. We ARE making the world a better place...one student, at a time.

Staff Meeting

Starting at 3:45 on Tuesday, please go to the staff lounge to sign in, pick up documents, and grab some snacks. Our staff meeting will begin promptly at 4:00 pm in the gym.
