| Happy Holidays
Wishing all of our families a wonderful holiday full of laughter and love. It has been an amazing start to the year at St. Andrew’s MS and we cannot wait to see what 2019 has to offer for each of our students and their families. As always, thank you for your continuous support and partnership. We are so thankful to be working with these amazing students and the incredible families that send these students to us each day. Warmly, The St. Andrew’s Staff |
| Working Together for a Safe Community
One of the best parts about living in our community is the variety of activities that we can enjoy in our parks and public spaces all year round. We know that students are safe when at school but we want to help them be safe away from school too. That’s why our staff periodically speak to students about how to do just that. With the holiday break upon us, this is an ideal time for such a review. I know that you too will want to help. Attached, please find tips that you may find useful in reinforcing our messages to students. For those who drive, just a reminder to please take extra care on the roads, especially in areas where children might be present. Let’s continue to work together to make our communities as safe as possible for everyone. |
