Welcome to December!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We have three full weeks before winter break, and I know they will fly by for us. This is the time of year we welcome winter weather, the holiday season, and try to stay warm and healthy! Our students are excited too, planning social events and community celebrations.

One of our goals this winter is to proactively promote the Commodore K-12 programs. We will be sharing dates soon for our January Information nights, program tours, and promote the power of public choice schools with our greater BISD community. BISD is a wonderful school district, and our goal is to make sure every student can grow and thrive in one of our programs. Help us spread the word!

Thank you all for your support and commitment to COS K-12! Let's have a joyful month of December together!

Warmly,
Tricia Corsetti, Principal
