Welcome Back to the 2025–2026 School Year!

Hello amazing students! 🎉 We are so excited to have you back for another year of learning, growing, and discovering. You are officially one year older, one year wiser, and (hopefully) one inch taller! This year, we’re ready to SOAR together – not with actual wings (although that would be cool), but with our school values:

S – Safety 🛡️
Your safety—both physically and emotionally—matters most. That means we look out for one another, make good choices, and create an environment where everyone feels comfortable to learn and be themselves. Remember, safety isn’t just about keeping hands and feet to yourself—it’s also about kindness in your words and actions.

O – Ownership 📝
You are in charge of your own learning and behavior. Ownership means taking responsibility for your actions, being proud of your hard work, and making choices that help you grow. Even when things are challenging, owning your effort shows true strength. (And yes, that means turning in homework before it gets crumpled at the bottom of your backpack.)

A – Acceptance 🤝
We are all different, and that’s what makes our school awesome. Acceptance means including others, celebrating differences, and appreciating what makes each person unique. Whether someone is into reading graphic novels, coding robots, or collecting 57 pencils… we accept and support one another.

R – Respect 🙌
Respect is treating people, places, and things with care. That means listening to teachers, working well with classmates, and showing appreciation for the school that helps us learn and grow. Respect is like Wi-Fi—it works best when everyone is connected!

Together, these values—Safety, Ownership, Acceptance, and Respect—help us SOAR into success.

🌟 Our Mission: Shaping the Future of Education Through Innovation and Engagement.
🌟 Our Vision: To create a positive and safe learning environment where every child is encouraged to grow, imagine, and discover who they are. We aim to help students understand and appreciate the world around them while building strong character and kindness.

This year, your teachers are here to support you every step of the way. We believe in developing well-rounded students who are curious, creative, responsible, and kind. We know mistakes will happen—and that’s okay! With a growth mindset, every challenge is a chance to learn and every setback is just a step toward success.

So buckle up, sharpen those pencils, and get ready for an exciting year where you’ll laugh, learn, and discover more about yourself and the world around you. Let’s make 2025–2026 the year we all SOAR! 🦅

Mr. Brinkman and Mrs. Seeley-Marotz
