MYP Mane (6–10)

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Families,

We are excited to welcome our incoming 6th grade students to campus this afternoon for Switch Day! It is always such a special opportunity to meet our newest group of students, help them become familiar with the campus, and begin building connections for next school year. We look forward to an exciting transition and cannot wait to officially welcome them to our school community.

As we approach the final days of the school year, please remember that next Wednesday will be a full day of school, and next Thursday is the last day of school for students.
