IN KEEPING WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONSIDER ALL ASPECTS OF OUR CHILDREN’S WELL-BEING. THIS INCLUDES THEIR PHYSICAL SAFETY AS WELL AS THEIR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH. SLOCA’S HYBRID APPROACH, SMALL CLASS SIZES, AND STRINGENT SICK POLICY PROVIDES A PLACE TO CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON OUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION.

All I truly know is that we rise and fall as one…We may not know the way through the forest, but we can pick each other up when we fall, and we will arrive together.
