👋Note from Mrs. Rodgers

Hi Krahn Family,

We are off to a fantastic start this school year, and I could not be more excited about the learning and growth already happening on our campus. As I visit classrooms, I continue to be impressed by the level of engagement, curiosity, and effort our students are demonstrating each day.

It is clear that our teachers and staff are deeply committed to creating meaningful learning experiences, and our students are rising to the challenge with enthusiasm. Together, we are building a strong foundation for a year filled with academic success, personal growth, and community connection.

Our students are working on creating their beginning-of-the-year (BOY) goals based on their current performance. More information will be shared about this during the Open House on Thursday, September 18th. We can't wait to see you there.
