 Our last Spirit Friday is coming up this week with Pajama Day. Get ready to get cozy over spring break. We can't wait to see you in your jammies.

A Message from Ms. Consolla
Spring has a way of keeping us on our toes, and this past week was certainly a testament to that! Thank you for your incredible flexibility and patience during the unanticipated three-hour early release on Monday. While the severe storm warnings prompted us to prioritize safety, we were all relieved the weather ultimately missed our neighborhood. It served as a perfect, real-world opportunity to practice our safety protocols. In fact, our students did a remarkable job during our tornado drill last week and the fire drill this week.
Looking ahead to next week, please mark your calendars for a few schedule shifts as we wrap up the third quarter. We have a three-hour early release on Wednesday and a two-hour early release on Friday, March 27. Friday marks the end of the third quarter—I can hardly believe how quickly this year is flying by! To celebrate all the hard work our students have put in, the SCA will hold its final Spirit Friday with Pajama Day!
Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education.
