Welcome to March! As we move further into 2025, we’re thrilled to see our students’ continued growth and achievements. With spring just around the corner, there’s a renewed sense of energy and excitement in the air as we navigate Women’s History Month and Mock PSSA Season! As we approach the end of the 3rd quarter, please take time to discuss your child’s academic progress with them. Celebrate their successes and work together to identify any areas where they might need additional support. Setting realistic and positive goals for the remainder of the school year is key to their continued success.

Our school remains committed to providing resources to support your child, including tutoring programs and after-school activities. Please don’t hesitate to contact their teachers or counselor for assistance in accessing these resources. Open communication is vital, so please reach out to teachers with any questions or concerns. Let’s work together to make the rest of 2025 a successful and rewarding experience for all our students!
