A Message from the Principal
Tiger Pride. Tiger Nation.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Happy New Year! We made it to 2025!
Hopefully, everyone’s winter break was enjoyable and energizing for the learning in the new year! Winter break seemed to have gone by quickly, and before we knew it, Spring will be here! January marks the beginning of another year and the closing of the first semester of our school year. The months seemed to fly by, but we are just getting started. We are preparing for NWEA testing, allowing us to access all that has been learned thus far this school year. Additionally, we are preparing for a wonderful MLK Day program for families to enjoy.
When we have long breaks, many routines must be reestablished upon returning to school. Students can expect to return to reminders of their classroom and building expectations, including the PAWS principles for each area of the building.
Please encourage your students to do their best to return with these things in mind to make their transition a bit smoother. If you are interested in volunteering or learning more about how you can contribute to our school events in January, please feel free to contact the school’s main office for more information.
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! Thank you for your unwavering support and commitment to our students. I look forward to a joyful and productive January, as well as a second semester full of learning and celebration!
-Ms. Shameika Johnson
Principal
