Principal’s Message

Parents/Guardians,
As the spring is in full gear, I would ask everyone to remind your kids about our Rapoport core values.  They can finish the year strongly by showing all 6 core values, especially hard work and responsibility.  This can be shown in academics and ensuring they are working hard every day but also in how they are acting responsibly in class.  It's so important to finish strong in this way!  Way to go, Ravens!
Thanks for partnering with us.
Mrs. Whitlark
