Today is the first day of the 2025-26 school year. I wanted to share my opening remarks with our faculty and staff.  

Good morning, everyone — and welcome back for the 2025-26 school year! 

I hope your summer was fun and that vacation gave you time to rest and recharge. As we step into a new school year, I want to take a moment to recognize the heart of our mission: you.  

Your dedication, creativity, and care shape not just classrooms, but our students’ futures. Every hallway, every lesson, every moment of connection — it all starts with you. 

This year isn’t just about returning to familiar routines—it’s about gaining new momentum. With innovative resources, renewed energy, and our collective pursuit of excellence, we’re poised to make a meaningful difference. Technology will remain central to our approach, serving both as a catalyst for learning and a tool to engage and empower everyone in our community. 

Let’s embrace innovation, lean into collaboration, and continue to nurture a culture where every student feels seen, supported, and inspired. Together, we can make this year one to remember. 

Thank you for all you do. We’re here for you and want you to succeed.  

Let’s have a great year!
