Mr. Mirabella and I completed our meetings with student houses today.
We were happy to share expectations and suggestions for how students can be “school ready” and follow our four basic rules: Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Kind.
Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!
Have a great weekend.
