Principal’s Message
Hello Minutemen!
I hope this message finds you well. As we reach the halfway point of the second quarter of the school year, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the hard work and dedication our students have shown. This is indeed a busy time, filled with opportunities for growth and learning.
Our students are deeply focused on acquiring new knowledge in the classroom, and I am excited that they will soon have the chance to demonstrate their learning on the upcoming FAST PM 2 tests, scheduled for December 3rd and 4th. This assessment is a valuable opportunity for our students to showcase their progress, and I encourage everyone to support them in their preparations.
As we transition from fall to winter, I also want to highlight our successful fall sports season. It has been wonderful to see our students exhibit teamwork and sportsmanship. We are now gearing up for our winter sports, and I am looking forward to another season filled with enthusiasm and Minutemen spirit!
Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Together, we are creating a vibrant learning environment for our students.
Go Beach!
