Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope this message finds you well as we enter the eleventh week of the school year. I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for your continued support and partnership in your child's education. Your involvement and engagement play a vital role in their growth and success.
This week, we are excited to invite you to PSD-wide Conference Day on Monday. Conferences are appointment only and arranged through your child’s teacher. These conferences provide a valuable opportunity for you to meet with your child's teacher, discuss their progress, and gain insights into their academic and social development. It is a collaborative effort between home and school to ensure the best possible outcomes for your child's education.
During these conferences, our teachers will provide you with a comprehensive overview of your child's achievements, strengths, and areas for growth. They will share specific examples of your child's work and provide insights into their learning journey. This is also an ideal time for you to ask questions, share your observations, and discuss any concerns you may have. Together, we can work towards creating a supportive and enriching learning environment tailored to your child's needs.
We encourage you to actively participate in these conferences and come prepared with any specific questions or topics you would like to discuss. Your insights and perspective are invaluable, as you know your child best. By working together, we can foster a strong partnership that nurtures your child's academic, social, and emotional development.
Furthermore, I want to assure you that our teachers are committed to your child's well-being, both academically and personally. They strive to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment that promotes growth, curiosity, and a love for learning. Your continuous support and encouragement at home greatly contribute to your child's overall success.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. We look forward to meeting with you during Conference Day and working together to ensure your child's success.
Warm regards,
Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.
Principal
