Dear Parents and Guardians,
Happy New Year! I hope you had some time to enjoy the Winter Break with your kids. While the time off to recharge and reconnect is always wonderful, it is so good to be back with our Erie Tiger family! We are back in our routines and already going strong for the new year. Looking ahead, just a reminder that our PTCO meeting is on January 14th from 6-7. We hope to see you there. Also, there is no school on Monday, January 19th for the MLK holiday. Wishing you a great weekend!
