It’s Principal Appreciation Month! We asked Mr. Lopez a few fun questions to give our community a peek into what makes him tick and what makes being a principal so special to him. Check out his answers below!

Today is the End of 1st Quarter.

💙 Every voice deserves to be heard! 💙 We are so excited to share our new playground communication board, created by our very own speech therapists, Paige Beale and Alejandra Raya! This bilingual board, featuring both English and Spanish, gives our students another way to express their wants and needs, share their thoughts, and connect with their friends while playing. Communication looks different for everyone, and we want to make sure every student has the tools and opportunities to be heard. Our hope is that this board helps create a more inclusive playground where ALL students can communicate, participate, and build meaningful connections with one another, regardless of their language or communication abilities. Check out the board during our Party on the Playground: Thursday October 21st from 4-6pm.
