Message from Dr. Caleris

Dear Hurricane Staff, Students, Parents and Families, 

As we prepare to embark on a well-deserved break, I wanted to take a moment to share a spring message with our school community. First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for your ongoing support throughout this school year. The growth and achievement of our students would not have been possible without the collaborative efforts of Brooklyn teachers, staff, and families. I also want to take the opportunity to wish you all a restful and enjoyable time with family and friends. Whether you're traveling or staying close to home, we hope this break brings relaxation and renewal.

School will be closed from Monday, March 31st to Friday, April 4th, with classes resuming on Monday, April 7, 2025.

Please take a moment to learn more about the latest news and upcoming events within our school community this spring.
