Dear Founding Board of Trustees,

 

We are officially closing out the 2022-2023 school year!
 

  • Our Students. We are closing out the year strong with our kiddos and there is much to celebrate from this past year. We are also continuing to recruit students for next school year. Currently our numbers are at 270 but we are working to get as close to 300 as we can before the next school year begins in August.
  • Our Staff. We are finished with hiring for next year and are really excited about our new staff members as well as welcoming back our returning staff in August.
  • Our Facility. We are still waiting on the tenant reimbursement but hope to have it before the end of the month and we need to determine if we are going to approve the amendment to the forever lease to include the middle school expansion.

Looking forward to meeting as a group this month!


Together we RISE,

SLT
