Principal's Weekly Update
October 25th, 2024
A Message from Dr. Nadjarian
Dear Families,
We love sharing the weekly newsletter with you every week so that you are informed about what is happening in our school community! I want to always make sure that you have all the information you need.
Starting this week, our newsletter will alternate between two formats:
- Full Update: The detailed newsletter that includes key highlights of what is happening across different classes, student activities, and accomplishments. This is the newsletter we have been sending throughout the year.
- Quick Look-Ahead: A streamlined version of the newsletter focusing on the “Looking Ahead” section and upcoming important dates.
Our goal is to make it easy for you to stay connected with what’s happening at school, while also providing quick, at-a-glance updates for your convenience. This week will be a quick look ahead and next week will be the full newsletter and we will keep alternating from here on.
Thank you for your continued engagement and support in creating a connected and involved school community.
Looking forward to seeing you at our Trunk or Treat event this afternoon!
