Dear Military Families:
Our school received a Purple Star Award for making specific commitments in support of military-connected students. It is our hope to meet the unique needs of all children, including those whose family members may experience a deployment or transition due to active-duty military orders. We seek to honor all who have honorably served our country and have identified one caring adult on our staff to focus on the needs of military kids. As our school’s identified military family point of contact, I would like to provide you with the following resources and contacts relevant to experiences military families might encounter as their children progress throughout their K-12 education.
