Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our first two days of school last week were AMAZING! As we embark on the first full week of the new school year, I wanted to reflect on the importance of relationships, rituals, and routines in setting the stage for our students' successful and fulfilling academic journey.
Relationships are the cornerstone of everything we do here at Van Wert. Building strong connections between students, parents, teachers, and staff is essential for creating a supportive and nurturing learning environment. We encourage you to engage with our school community actively, participate in school events, and communicate openly with your child's teachers to foster a strong partnership that benefits the growth and development of our students.
Rituals play a significant role in providing structure and stability for our students. Whether it's a morning assembly, a weekly class meeting, or a special tradition unique to our school, rituals create a sense of belonging and unity among our students. I encourage you to embrace and support these rituals as they help cultivate a positive school culture and strengthen the bond within our school community.
Routines promote organization and discipline in our students' daily lives. Establishing consistent routines at home and school helps students develop important life skills such as time management, responsibility, and self-discipline. Encourage your child to follow a regular study schedule, complete homework assignments on time, and prioritize their academic responsibilities to ensure a smooth and successful school year.
As we navigate through the upcoming academic year, let us all commit to building strong relationships, embracing meaningful rituals, and establishing effective routines that will lay the foundation for a rewarding and enriching educational experience for our students.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in making Van Wert a place where every child can thrive and succeed.
Warm regards,
Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.
Principal
