Families,

At our school, your child’s well-being is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to nurturing not only their academic success but also helping them grow into confident, compassionate, and resilient individuals.
 
This year, we’re excited to introduce P.A.T.H. (Prevention and Awareness for Total Health)—a research-based educator-facilitated curriculum designed to empower students with essential life skills. Through engaging, grade-level specific lessons, P.A.T.H. educates students on topics such as bullying prevention, substance awareness, personal safety, mental health, and character development. For more information about the P.A.T.H. curriculum, please visit our website or feel free to reach out to us at the school.
 
We know that families play a vital role in shaping a child’s success and well-being. We believe that when schools and families work together, children benefit the most. Below, you’ll find additional resources to support you in guiding your child through today’s ever-changing world.
 
We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner with you and look forward to working together to support your child in building a bright, healthy future!

Mrs. Morgan Williams
