Principal's Corner
Dear Parents and Families!
We are off to a fantastic start of the new school year!
The next few months will be very important for your child as we establish our norms and begin a rigorous academic curriculum. We need your support by making sure your student attends school regularly.
You can also help by taking an interest in their school work. Ask them the following questions:
- What did you do in class today?
- What did you learn today?
- Did you do anything interesting today in class?
- Do you have any questions about today's lessons?
Hopefully, these questions will start a meaningful conversation between you and your student. Always remember, we are here to help you as we give every student an opportunity to reach their highest potential.
We are in this together!
Thank you for your support of your child's education.
