Academic Achievements: I am pleased to report that our students have been making remarkable progress academically. Our dedicated teachers and staff continue to provide high-quality instruction, and our students are rising to the occasion. Please ensure that you are regularly checking in with your child's teachers, reviewing their progress, and helping them stay organized and on track. Remember, your involvement makes a significant difference in your child's education.
Upcoming Events:
Parent-Teacher Conferences: We will be holding parent-teacher conferences on November 20th and 21st. This is a valuable opportunity to discuss your child's progress and address any questions or concerns you may have. Look out for communication from your child's teacher on November 7th regarding scheduling.
Thanksgiving Break: As we approach the end of the month, we will have a Thanksgiving break from November 22nd-24th. It's a time for families to come together and celebrate gratitude, and I hope you all have a wonderful and restful break.
