Welcome Back, Huskies!
We’re excited to kick off a new school year with fresh energy and a calendar full of fun. From family nights and student activities to staff support and school events, there’s something for everyone.
This year brings some exciting updates: new murals, new sensory pathways, continued progress on the outdoor classroom, and a big announcement — Husky Quest is officially moving to the fall! Get ready to fundraise and celebrate this October.
We’re looking forward to another great year together.
