Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s),
I hope you and your family enjoyed a restful and meaningful December break. I hope it provided time to slow down, connect with friends, and recharge as we begin the second half of the school year.
As we welcome students and staff back to school, I am filled with optimism for the New Year. January brings fresh opportunities, renewed focus, and a little more daylight each day as winter progresses.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. The education of our students is strongest when schools and families work together. We are grateful for the trust you place in our teachers, staff, and schools each day. Our educators are excited to reconnect with students and continue creating engaging, supportive learning environments where every child feels safe, valued, and challenged.
As we move forward, our shared commitment to learning, belonging, and well-being remains at the center of our work. I look forward to all that we will accomplish together in the months ahead.
On behalf of the entire District, welcome back and best wishes for a healthy, positive start to the New Year.
Respectfully,
Gregory L. Martineau
Superintendent of Schools
