As we head into winter break next week, we want to send our students and families off with a quick reminder: strong attendance helps students thrive. We’re excited to start 2026 together on the right foot.
Students return on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. Let’s work together to melt away absences and make the new year a season of growth, connection, and great learning.
We hope you enjoy a safe, restful break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in January.
