Thank you, Shelly, for your unwavering commitment to supporting students and families. Your compassion and advocacy help students navigate challenges and find success.

Honk honk! The Tiny Trojan Learning Bus is rolling in February. If your child is ages 2 to 5 and not yet in preschool, come jump in for fun, exploration, and early learning. Through play, one on one instruction, and hands on activities, little learners build the school readiness skills that help them feel confident and excited about the classroom. We cannot wait to welcome your future Trojan and learn right alongside them. We hope to see you at one of our stops this month!
