Good Morning Staff:

We are looking forward to your return!!!  It has been a very busy summer at The Prep with new doors and locks being installed; new lockers on the 3rd floor and basement as well as cleaning the entire building.  By the time you return, our new VILS lab will be under construction. I believe you will all be very happy with the progress being made to our building. 

The Roll-Out Staff along with our SLT and Administrators welcomed over 260 parents and families to our Parent Orientation and Roll-Out event on August 5th. It was a exciting time and well received.  So we are off and running already. In addition, the last three days Ms. Hayden welcome 296 students into our building to take their ID picture.  The work of our administrative secretaries, custodians and SLT members has been awesome and as such 'WE ARE READY"!!! Hence our Theme for 2025-2026 is just that - "WE ARE READY"!

We are hoping to have classroom access available by August 27th for any staff members who would like to get a early start on the preparation of your classrooms. You will not have access to your schedules or rosters until all schedules are complete for this school year. The rollover was later this year and hence we are finalizing our scheduling process later than we normally do. Please be patient with us.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me directly by email, text or phone call. Have a great rest of your summer.

Ms. Halstead
