Dear Paine Elementary Parents,

As we draw close to the end of the first half of the school year, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your continuous support and collaboration in your child's educational journey. The first semester at Paine Elementary has been filled with incredible moments of learning, growth, and discovery for our students. We are so appreciative to our amazing faculty and staff for their dedication to each and every student. Our school community has worked tirelessly to create an environment where each child can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Should you have any questions, suggestions, or need assistance during this break or beyond, please don't hesitate to reach out. You are an essential part of our school community and invaluable in ensuring that we continue to provide the best possible education for your child. I hope our students and families have a safe and restful winter break. We are excited about the prospects that the second semester holds for each and every student at Paine Elementary.

Sincerely,

Lisa Lothspeich
