Dear Students, Families, and Staff, 

Welcome to the final week of January. We are excited to kick off the week with new activities and events, as well as continued opportunities for student success. 

This week also brings us to a special milestone on Wednesday: the 100th Day of School, and many of our schools will be observing Kindness Week, encouraging students and staff to practice empathy, respect, and compassion through small acts of kindness. 

Thank you for staying connected and engaged with what's happening in our schools. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to a meaningful and positive week ahead!
