Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope this message finds you and your families in good health and high spirits as we enter the tenth week of the academic year. It is with great pleasure and excitement that I reach out to you today to share two important updates: our upcoming Homecoming celebration and the distribution of report cards.
Our homecoming celebration is this week and we couldn't be more thrilled to celebrate the spirit and unity of our school community. This event provides an opportunity for us to come together, showcase our school pride, and create lasting memories. Our dedicated Homecoming committee has been working tirelessly to organize a fun-filled day of activities that will engage students, parents, and staff alike. I encourage you to mark your calendars for Friday, October 13th at 7:30 pm and join us in this joyous celebration.
Additionally, I am delighted to announce that our teachers have been diligently assessing and evaluating your child's progress throughout the term. The time has come to share this valuable feedback with you through the distribution of report cards. Report cards are intended to offer a comprehensive overview of your child's academic achievements, as well as their growth in various areas, including social-emotional development and work habits. They serve as a reflection of the hard work and dedication displayed by both your child and our exceptional teaching staff.
We believe that open communication between school and home is crucial in supporting your child's educational journey. Therefore, I encourage you to review the report card carefully, taking note of your child's strengths and areas for improvement. It is essential to engage in a constructive conversation with your child about their progress, recognizing their accomplishments and discussing strategies for continued growth. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher. They will be more than happy to address any queries or concerns you may have.
I would also like to take this opportunity to commend our students for their hard work and resilience. They have shown tremendous growth and dedication throughout the term, and we are incredibly proud of their accomplishments. Let us continue to encourage and motivate them to reach for their goals, nurturing their love for learning and personal development.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We are honored to be a part of their journey and remain committed to providing them with the best possible educational experience.
Wishing you and your family a memorable Homecoming and a rewarding term ahead!
Warm regards,
Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.
