FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - The countdown is on — just ONE month until the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 10. Take small steps now to get ready: Adjust sleep schedules a little each week, gather school supplies and organize backpacks, keep learning going with 20 minutes of reading or math each day, mark important school dates on your family calendar, and start practicing morning routines. We can't wait to welcome everyone back for another amazing year!

Please join us in congratulating Zoie D. for receiving the prestigious College Board National Recognition Program award! 🏅
Zoie has been honored with the Hispanic Recognition Program award, recognizing her outstanding academic performance on the PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, and AP Exams. 🌟
This award celebrates high-achieving students from underrepresented communities, including those who identify as African American/Black, Hispanic/Latino, Indigenous/Native American, first-generation, or those attending school in rural or small-town areas. These students not only excel academically but also have the opportunity to gain recognition from colleges that actively recruit awardees. 🎓✨
We’re so proud of Zoie’s hard work, dedication, and accomplishments. This is just the beginning—keep shining! 🌟
This event is designed to help families make the best enrollment decisions for their children for the 2025-26 school year.
