Dear Parents,
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the back to school mornings this past week. If you were not able to attend, please reach out to your child’s teacher for the grade level information. It’s important to stay connected with the school.
Do not forget to view the back to school videos from the specialists as well. You can find the videos by clicking the link below and adding the guest password when prompted. Please do not record a video response.

As we close out the third full week of school, we hope your child is settling into a “school” routine at home. Teachers have been working with students on creating virtual learning expectations as well as helping them set up their work space and schedule.
Important Dates
Early Years Parent Coffee - September 1st
Please join us for an Early Years Parent Coffee on Tuesday, September 1st at 9:30 a.m. We will be talking about the importance of providing children “wait time” to respond to questions and express what they are thinking.
Specialists Learning Activity Reminder
It’s so wonderful to see all of the students joining the live specialist sessions each day. In addition to these live sessions, students also have an independent learning activity to complete during the week. The learning activities are linked in the grade level weekly planner.
