A Message from the Principal
Tiger Pride. Tiger Nation.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Happy Spring, everyone!
As we embrace the beautiful season of renewal, we are filled with excitement about the many possibilities on the horizon! With just a few months remaining in the school year, it’s essential that we all stay focused and continue to put forth our best efforts.
Spring Break is just around the corner a perfect time for rest, relaxation, and fun-filled activities! We have included some ideas to consider with your students while on break. When we return, we will shift our focus to the M-STEP Assessment, and we are eager to see our students step up to the challenge and showcase all that they have learned this year.
Let’s make the most of this vibrant season together! We appreciate all the hard work of our students, staff, and families, and we are excited for what’s to come. Here’s to a fantastic April filled with growth, learning, and joy!
Remember if we put our PAWS (Positive, Awarding, Welcoming, and Safe) on it! Our PAWS will serve as a guide for everything we do this year, including new programming, community engagement and resource sharing, after school enrichment, and much more. If it is still within you, please stand with us and extend your PAWS to ensure that it remains for generations to come!
-Ms. Shameika Johnson
Principal
