Welcome Back, Jaguar Family! 🐾

Hello Jaguars!

Sharpen those pencils, dust off the lunchboxes, and brace yourselves for another year of learning, laughter, and just a little organized chaos. The PTO is back in action and we are SO excited to welcome you all to the 2025–2026 school year!

A special shoutout to our Kindergarten families, welcome to the Jaguar family! You’re in for a year full of adventures, growth, and memories. We can’t wait for you to feel the warmth and energy of our community. You’ll quickly see that “Jaguar Pride” isn’t just a motto, it’s a way of life.

This Week’s Recap

Meet The Teacher was a huge success! We loved meeting new faces and reconnecting with familiar ones. The love was so real that our spirit wear sold out fast!

But don’t panic, we’ve opened a special two-week pre-order for t-shirts and hoodies!
⏳ We will update everyone when orders are ready, so please be patient with turnaround time. We won’t likely have another pre-order until after winter break, so get your gear now. Spirit Wear & Hoodie Pre-Sale
