Our theme for the 2026-27 school year is "Ready, Set, Learn"
Message from Dr. Banker:
Our theme for the 2026 – 2027 school year is “Ready, Set, Learn!” and it focuses on teaching our students executive function skills. Executive functions are a set of thinking, problem-solving and self control skills. They help us to decide what to pay attention to in our lives, they help us to plan and organize and they help us to control our behaviors and emotions. Executive functions are paramount for success in school and in life. And, we can improve our executive functions through learning strategies, training and practice, which is something our young students need. That is why we chose that for our focus for this school year! We can’t wait to employ all this learning and see your children thrive!
