Dear Slate Families,
This week has been a busy one filled with lots of learning and engagement across all grade levels. It’s always inspiring to see our students actively participating and growing each day!
A big thank you to our 3rd-grade families who joined us for the Parent Meeting Night this week. We had a great discussion about the Ohio State Test, and we are excited about the preparations our students are making for success. Your support and partnership are invaluable as we navigate these important milestones together.
As always, thank you for your ongoing commitment to your child’s education. We’re looking forward to another productive and exciting week ahead.
Warm regards,
Dr. Parlar, Principal
