Principal's message

Good afternoon Raider Families,

Can you believe it? We are just over a month away from the first day of school for the students. As a parent myself, I couldn't help but laugh at my youngest child's reaction when we walked into the grocery store and saw school supplies being put out with back-to-school signs. The look of horror on their face and the determined "No! It's not time yet!" It made me think about how students and parents feel at this time of year. I, just like you, want to ensure that we have a fantastic school year filled with learning, fun, progress, success, and above all, safety. Information about the start-of-year events such as "Meet the Teacher" and the "Back-to-School Bash" will soon be sent out via the campus website and school messenger. We'll also be getting a new marquee in front of the school soon, and we hope to have most of the construction on the new driveway and front office completed before the students return to campus.

I hope you are all enjoying the rest of your summer break, and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

 

Brandon Masters, Principal
