Principal’s Message:
Dear Imai Families,
Happy Holidays! On behalf of the Imai staff and myself, I would like to give my warmest wishes to you and your family this holiday season.This time of year can be very busy and stressful, for both the students and the adults. Take time to relax and talk with your children and your significant others. Enjoy the peace that comes with this time of year. The hectic schedules and hurried timelines will always be there. Enjoy your time with your children and don’t forget that we return to school on January 9. Enjoy a book or two and have your child complete the reading challenge during the winter break.
We have noticed an increase in students coming to school sick. Please remember that a child who has a fever the night before must be fever free (no meds) for 24 hours before coming back. Please help us keep the rest of the population safe by keeping your child at home until they are feeling better. Thank you for your cooperation.
