Thanks to all our families for spending time to discuss your children’s progress during Parent Teacher Conferences. It is so helpful to all involved to have a quiet, focused  time to really talk without the distractions of the many things happening during each school day. We hope that you are feeling more informed and connected to your child’s school experience. Please remember that we are always available to address your questions and concerns.
As we head into the season of holidays when so much focus is placed on materialism in our society, we will continue to focus on caring for others and the idea of community with our students. We invite families to participate in the upcoming events. Thank you for being a sensitive and supportive group of families who believe in modeling and creating a world in which we respect, communicate with and assist other persons and our planet. It is with great appreciation that we work with you and your children.
