Dear Families,
September certainly went quickly! Your children and their teachers have been very busy setting the stage for a rich year of learning. By now, building and classroom procedures are well-ingrained, and students are focused on the literacy, math, science, health and social studies content they will learn this year.
It is very important that we continue to develop a strong home-school partnership. Research shows that when schools involve parents, there is an increase in student achievement. We need your help and we want you to be actively involved in the success of your child. Fall conferences will be held during the second half of October. Watch for an appointment invitation from your child’s teacher.
