A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Indian Peaks Families,

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year! We had a great six week summer school program with over 115 students attending. This provided the students with reading writing and English language instruction.  We are starting this new school year with great momentum and we look forward to continuing this as the year progresses. Thank you to the many families that participated in this outstanding learning opportunity.
 I am looking forward to another fantastic year.  Please stop in and visit me when you are at the school.  If you ever need to talk with me please feel free to make an appointment with Ms. Dora Villavicencio, our secretary. As you can see below, we have a number of new amazing staff joining us this year.  Please stop in and meet them as well.
I look forward to partnering with you this year in order to have an extraordinary year of learning!

Sincerely, Mrs. Orbanosky
