To the CJP Community,
I am thrilled to be back at school after my time away. I am excited to reconnect with our students, staff and the entire school community and I look forward to the many opportunities ahead as we continue to work together to create a positive and enriching learning environment for all of our learners.
Thank you for your support during my time away. I am eager to jump back in and make this a fantastic year for our school.
Sincerely,
Oliver Fisher
