Dear Students, Families, and Community Members,

We are excited to welcome you to a brand-new school year! Whether you are stepping into your very first day of PreK, returning for your senior year of high school, or supporting our schools as a parent, caregiver, or community partner, this is a fresh beginning filled with possibility. We are so glad you’re part of our school family.

The start of a new school year is always a special time. It brings with it new friendships, opportunities to learn and grow, and experiences that shape who we are and who we will become. Our teachers and staff have been preparing thoughtfully to ensure that every student feels supported, challenged, and inspired.

This year, we remain committed to:

• Providing high-quality learning experiences that meet the needs of every student.
• Building strong partnerships with families and community members, because together we make our schools stronger.
• Creating safe, welcoming, and inclusive environments where every child feels a true sense of belonging.

To our families and community: thank you for the trust and encouragement you place in us. Your support—whether it’s volunteering, cheering from the sidelines, or simply asking about a child’s day—makes all the difference.

And to our students: dream big, be curious, try new things, and remember you are surrounded by caring adults who believe in you. Each of you has unique gifts to share, and we can’t wait to see all that you will accomplish this year.

Here’s to a wonderful school year filled with learning, laughter, and lasting memories. Together, let’s make it our best year yet!

With gratitude and excitement,

Ann Varkados
Superintendent
