• A child in our grade is being treated for leukemia and is prone to infections. It is, therefore, important for you to inform us of any serious illnesses that your child has, or might have, been exposed to (i.e.chicken-pox, measles or flu).

The most effective way to boost the confidence of your child is to show him that you love him and that you think he is the greatest! This is the power that will charge the emotional batteries and send your child, with confidence, to school and beyond.

We thank you and are privileged to educate your children. An exciting and challenging year lies ahead for us all!
