March 9, 2025
Good evening, Einstein Community,
I hope you are all having a great weekend.
As we start shifting toward the Spring season, we are looking forward to an exciting lineup of performances, showcases, athletics, and celebratory events. You can check the School's Website as well as our weekly newsletters to stay updated on upcoming events.
There are three weeks left in the third quarter, so now is a great time to check ParentVue for a grade update and encourage students to finish strong as we approach the final quarter of the school year.
As always, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to the school. We are excited for another great week with our students.
Justin Krop
Principal Intern.
