A Back to School Message from Dr. Uszenski
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope you have had an enjoyable summer and are ready to send your children back to us well rested and ready for a new school year. September is a time for new beginnings. Unlike people in business and industry, educators have the luxury of a new start each Fall and for me there is something special about the opening of a new school year.
