8th Grade Completion Ceremony

Dear Teachers, Staff, and Families,

As we close another wonderful school year, I want to take a moment on behalf of the PTSO to thank each of you for the time, energy, and support you have given to our school community.

This year has been filled with learning, growth, celebrations, and memorable moments for our students. None of it would have been possible without the dedication of our incredible teachers and staff, who work tirelessly every day to inspire, guide, and support our children. Your commitment makes a lasting difference, and we are deeply grateful for all that you do.

To our parents and families, thank you for your encouragement, volunteerism, generosity, and partnership throughout the year. Whether you attended events, supported fundraisers, helped in classrooms, or simply cheered on our students from home, your involvement strengthens our school community in countless ways.

Together, we have created a positive and supportive environment where students can thrive, and the PTSO is proud to be part of such a caring and connected school family.

As summer begins, we hope everyone has the opportunity to relax, recharge, and enjoy time with family and friends. We wish our students continued success and happiness, and we look forward to another great year ahead.

Thank you again for a fantastic school year continued support!

Counselor's Corner

As the school year ends, we wish all our students and families a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer break.

Summer is a wonderful time to relax, recharge, spend meaningful time with family and friends, explore new interests, and create lasting memories. To keep your children feeling their best, remember to encourage regular physical activity, well-balanced meals, plenty of sunshine, sufficient sleep, and good hydration.

While technology, gaming, and social media can certainly be a part of summer fun, we encourage families to help children balance screen time with outdoor activities, creativity, and face-to-face connections. Research continues to show the vital importance of real-world social interaction. Too much isolation, excessive screen time, or constant social media use can increase feelings of anxiety, sadness, irritability, or disconnection in children and teens.

Activities such as family game nights, trips to the park or beach, reading, sports, camp, and unstructured time with friends and relatives greatly support children’s emotional well-being and happiness.

It is also important to remember that students often experience mixed emotions at the end of the school year. While many are excited for summer break, others may feel a sense of uncertainty or anxiety about changes in routine, missing their friends, and leaving behind daily school support. Keeping predictable routines, maintaining social connections, and checking in emotionally can help ease this transition.

One practice I highly encourage is sharing family meals. I know life can be stressful and busy, but the payoff for your child's well-being is worth it. Simply establish a routine and commit to what you can manage. Showing up for your child daily, even if it is just an intentional 5-minute conversation, is vital for their mental health.

Thank you for your partnership, support, and commitment throughout the school year. We deeply appreciate all you do to support your children’s growth and success.

We wish your family a fun, healthy, and memorable summer!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Mills
