Parent/Family Update

Dear Parents/Families,

As we approach the end of the school year, we look forward to many opportunities to celebrate our students and all they have accomplished. Along with recognizing their achievements, I also want to take a moment to celebrate you, our parents and families. Thank you for sharing your children with us each day. We are grateful for your trust and partnership, and we are intentional about reminding your children how much they are cared for and valued each day. Please know how proud we are of their growth and accomplishments throughout the year.

Looking Ahead

With ILEARN and other end of year testing coming to a close, this is a meaningful time for both reflection and celebration. In the coming weeks, you can expect communication from your child’s teacher regarding end-of-year field trips and classroom celebrations.

We will also be celebrating our staff members during Staff Appreciation Week, May 4 - 8. See the flyer below for ideas for students and families to show gratitude to our staff members.

Thank you for being such an important part of our school community.

Warmly,
Lisa Eldridge
