The Weekly Update #4

This year promises to be filled with exciting learning opportunities, personal growth, and memorable experiences for our students. We are dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where each child can thrive.

I want to emphasize that this message marks the beginning of our weekly communications. Every week, you can expect to receive updates, important announcements, and insights into the fantastic happenings at Van Avery Prep. Our goal is to keep you informed and engaged throughout the year. Look for information about a special event for K-2 families soon.

We encourage you to actively participate in your child's education and school life. Feel free to reach out to our dedicated staff, teachers, or me if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions. We value your input and partnership as we work together to support your child's growth and success.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We are excited to embark on this journey together and look forward to making this school year a memorable one for all.
