Principal's Message

Dear Zeh Families,

It was wonderful connecting with so many of our families during conferences this week. We hope you found the conversations meaningful and that they provided helpful insight into your child’s growth and progress. Building strong partnerships between home and school is an important part of supporting every student’s success. We are always happy to talk if you have questions, concerns, or would like an update on how your child is doing.

As we approach Veterans Day, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank all the veterans in our community. We are deeply grateful for their service, bravery, and commitment to protecting our country. Their contributions remind us of the importance of compassion, courage, and community, values we strive to instill in our students each day. Happy Veterans Day!

Mr. Bell
