September 2 Newsletter from Wilfred Hunt

September 2, 2022

Welcome to a new school year at Wilfred Hunt! Our staff has spent significant time preparing for our students and families and we are pleased to be starting school in a more “typical” way after the last two years. Thank you to our families for assisting with a smooth transition to the back to school routine and rigor.

A special welcome to new families joining our school community. We are proud to be the small school with the big heart and are positive you will be happy here. We also have some new faces on our school staff for the 2022-23 school year. We look forward to working together to have a positive and productive year!
