Letter from Principal Curtis

 

Welcome back Vikings! 

I hope you all had a restful and joyful break. As we begin this new school year, I am excited to welcome our students and families back to a year full of learning, growth, and new opportunities.

Our dedicated staff has been working hard to prepare a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where every child can thrive. We value your partnership and look forward to collaborating closely with you to ensure a successful year for all our students.

This year, we will continue to focus on not only academic excellence but also the social and emotional well-being of our students. We believe in educating the whole child, and as such, we will be using programs that promote well-being and community connections.

We also look forward to our continued partnership with you, our parents and guardians. Your involvement is key to your child’s success, and we encourage you to participate in our community events, attend parent-teacher conferences, and enjoy some of the fun activities that our school will host. 

Please mark your calendars for our open house on August 19, 2025 from 5:30-7:00 pm, where you will have an opportunity to meet our staff, learn about the curriculum, and hear more about what this school year has in store. School begins on August 20, and it is a ½ day.

Please look at our shift in start times for the 2025-2026 school year:

If you have any questions, or if there is anything we can assist you with, please do not hesitate to contact the school office at 517-841-2600. We are here to ensure that your child’s experience at John R. Lewis is successful and rewarding. 

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead! 

Warm Regards,
