Just a reminder that this Friday, May 22nd is the LAST day of school — and all campuses will dismiss 2 hours early. 🎉☀️

As we all know, the last day of school can be a little chaotic, so please take a few minutes now to make sure your student knows exactly how they are getting home Friday afternoon. Changes to transportation plans should be communicated with your child’s school office ahead of time whenever possible.

Let’s finish the year strong and safely as we kick off summer break! 💛🖤

Five elementary-aged students with backpacks raise their hands in front of a chalkboard. Text reads: “Last Day of School, Friday, May 22nd, 2 hr Early Release.”
Starting Kindergarten is a big milestone—for kids and parents 💛

Summer School can help take some of the unknowns out of that first day.

Learning how to:
✔ Follow routines
✔ Navigate lunch
✔ Understand playground expectations
✔ Feel comfortable in a school setting

Those small experiences now can make a big difference in August.

📅 Summer School starts May 26

🎓 To the Class of 2026:

There’s no clean way to sum up what the last four years have meant—because what you’ve built here isn’t something that fits neatly into a sentence.

It’s in the early mornings you didn’t want, the moments you pushed through anyway, the friendships that made the hard days easier, and the quiet wins that only you might fully understand.

You’ve grown here—in ways that won’t always show up on a transcript, but will stay with you long after you leave these halls.

As you step into what’s next, you won’t have all the answers. No one does. But you leave with something better—a foundation, a perspective, and the ability to figure things out as you go.

And wherever you land, you’ll always have a place here.

Congratulations, graduates. 💛🖤
