It is my pleasure to welcome you and your family to the 2021-2022 school year. We cannot wait to begin caring for your children, giving them a rich academic and social experience for the upcoming school year.

Together we will be a team focusing on your child’s success. This is our first newsletter together and how we will keep you informed of happenings on the Downtown Campus.

There will, undoubtedly, be changes to adjust to because of COVID-19, but we are excited by the direction we are headed in order to continue enriching and improving the quality of your child’s Downtown Campus experience.
