For an overview of the Sapphire Team and how we work together as teachers to improve your student’s experience this year, we sent home a team welcome flyer. A PDF copy of that tri-fold is provided here if needed:

Thanks to all parents and loved ones who are helping our young people keep everything together during these trying pandemic times. We need to work together to help ensure success – academically, socially, and holistically.
