Last week, we had the incredible opportunity to celebrate our students at the Student Achievement Ceremonies! 🎉 It was such a heartwarming experience as teachers and students came together to recognize and celebrate each other’s hard work and dedication. The energy was amazing, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the leadership of our student leaders who hosted the event. 🙌 A huge thank you to them for their efforts! We were also thrilled to have many parents join us for this special occasion, and we hope to see even more at our next Achievement Assembly in April. 💫
It's always a great day to be a Cheetah! Congrats to our basketball and cheer teams for another win today! Our players, coaches, and fans were all in! What a great show of skills and spirit! 🐆 🐾 🏀
Take a look at who got caught being Cheerful Cheetahs!!! Keep up the great Cheetah Work!!!
Good Afternoon Families:
We hope everyone has enjoyed getting back into the routine of school. We are looking forward to next week and a full week of seeing our scholars!

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your patience at dismissal. We had a pull station activated that caused our fire alarm to go off. While there was not emergency, we recognize this situation delayed our dismissal of students. We appreciate your understanding and are working to address the issue.
