PAW PRINTS FOR FAMILIES - News you can use!

Welcome to the 2020-21 school year. We know our fall start was not what we would consider "normal," but we wanted you to know that we will continue to provide excellence through our teaching and learning. We ask that you continue to be patient and flexible with us as we move forward in this world of remote learning. We are all still learning and growing. We view this as an awesome opportunity to model to our students what lifelong learners know, and that is "you are never too old to learn something new."
