WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
Week of March 2 , 2025
Hello Alder Families,
As we step into March, we’re excited about the learning and growth happening throughout our school. This time of year is filled with opportunities for students to build on their knowledge, set new goals, and continue their academic progress.
Our 3rd marking period progress reports will be available on Parent Portal, Wednesday March 12th. The report provides insight into your child’s achievements and areas for growth. We encourage you to review them together and celebrate their successes while setting goals for the rest of the school year. If you have any questions or concerns, our teachers are always available to support your child’s learning journey.
With warmer weather approaching, we look forward to enjoying more outdoor activities while maintaining a strong focus on academics. Our outdoor classroom, courtyards and fields will provide our students new environments for learning.
Thank you for your continued partnership in your child’s education. Let’s make March a month of learning, growth, and fresh beginnings!
Sincerely,
Ms. Cunningham
