NEW ALBANY PRIMARY SCHOOL

Welcome to November! We have many exciting things planned this month including our Veterans Day assemblies, fall parties, and parent-teacher conferences. Last Friday we held a practice safety drill so students and staff could practice safety procedures. We would like to thank our district campus security, school resource officers, and the New Albany Police Department for their partnership in keeping our schools safe. Students do such a fantastic job remembering our B3’s-Be Safe, Be Kind, and Be Responsible!

This Friday, November 10 the Primary School will be holding school-wide assemblies to recognize veterans in celebration of Veterans Day. We pause to honor those who have served our nation and protect our freedom through the armed forces. Students in all grade levels have prepared poetry and songs to perform, and patriotic art will be displayed.

Thank you, Veterans!

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held the week of November 13. Please sign up with your classroom teacher.

Conferences are an opportunity for families and teachers to share successes, progress, and opportunities for growth. Our goal at the Primary School is to meet with every single family to discuss each child’s progress!

If you are interested in scheduling a conference with your student's Related Arts specialist during the week of November 13-17 you may contact them directly by email. Please note the days and times of availability for individual teachers below. Individual email addresses are linked to each name.
