About Us
Welcome to the 2021-22 school year!
Based on current health information, the widespread availability of the COVID-19 vaccine and guidance from Miami Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) and Governor Desantis that prevents our schools from offering a remote option, we are offering full-time, in-person instruction next school year with a regular, full-length school day. This means that for all students in all grades, and for all teachers and school staff, to be in-person, five days per week as of the start of school in August.
We will protect the health and safety of students, staff, and families.
We will provide a safe environment for our students to learn and thrive.
We will make sure our students’ and families’ needs are met.
We will create a supportive environment for staff to excel in their work and feel safe.
