A message from the principal
Greetings Island Lake Families,
Wow, what an amazing spirit week! Thank you to our families for supporting their children in participating. I want to also thank families and our PTA for the Green Mill restaurant night on Monday. It seems like it was well-attended.
Next week, we welcome families back to school for Communication Nights. We continue our conversations around each student’s achievement, while strengthening the partnership between school and home. These dedicated check-ins are invaluable, and I thank you in advance for making time to attend.
Kuendig Covid Update: this week the 3rd grader tested positive (on the 3rd test administered in three days). She’s on the mend, and all eyes now turn towards the 16-year old, who appears unaffected as of now…
This is a reminder that Monday, February 19, is a professional learning day for teachers, and students are not in session. We resume in person learning on Tuesday, February 20, 2024.
Kind Regards,
Bill
