Introducing Our Faculty and Staff

Our faculty and staff are dedicated to making sure each student has the best possible educational experience. We know this is attainable only with parental support and that by working together we can create a truly fabulous learning environment for all. 

If you ever have questions or concerns about your child, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher as soon as possible. Addressing a potential problem or question early is important in finding the best resolution. You may call the school and leave a message, or you can leave an email for your child’s teacher. He or she will return calls and emails as soon as possible.
