Today on Veteran's Day, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the families who have served or are currently serving in the military. Thank you for your sacrifice, service, and dedication. Your courage and commitment protect the freedoms we hold dear, and we are deeply thankful for all that you do.
As we move through fall, our teachers are busy holding conferences with families. These meetings are a great opportunity to connect, share progress, and discuss how we can work together to support your child's growth. We are committed to meeting with every family before we leave for Thanksgiving break. If you have yet to schedule your student's conference, please reach out directly to their teacher.
As we move through the school year, we want to remind parents about the importance of regular school attendance for your child’s success. Being in school every day helps students stay on track with their lessons, build relationships with their teachers and classmates, and make the most of all the learning opportunities available. If your child is sick or has an important reason to be absent, please be sure to communicate with the teacher and help them catch up on any missed work. We appreciate your support in helping your child attend school regularly, as every day truly counts in their learning and growth!
Respectfully,
Seth, Christine, and Stephanie
