Thank you for the essential role you play to our school community and for entrusting us with your precious children. I feel fortunate to be part of a school system where the district faculty and staff work in close partnership with our students’ parents and guardians to make a difference in the lives of each and every child.

I wish you all a peaceful holiday season that will, hopefully, include an opportunity to rest, relax, and reflect on the joys in your life.

Sincerely,

Maria Geryk
