Laurel Springs School Update
September 9, 2022
Important Links
Dear Laurel Springs School Families,
Our first week back to school has been productive and filled with plenty of relationship building experiences. All relationships, including teacher/student, student/student, and teacher/teacher are meaningful and serve a purpose in our school culture and climate. During the first week of school, teachers set expectations and relayed short and long-term goals with students. We spoke with all classes to prepare our students for the routines for recess and lunch. I met with each class to discuss our system of behavior management through positive reinforcement and restorative practices. We even rallied together today for our first Dragon Spirit Shirt Friday. All in all, it has been a pleasure being back to school with your children. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Please feel free to reach out anytime with questions.
Thank you!
Mr. Ryan Mahlman
Principal

3. September Spirit Schedule
4. Room Parents
This year we will be having in-person room parents. Each class will be assigned a team of room parents. Two parents from each team will be selected to be in-person room parents for each of our 3 holiday events. Our classroom events consist of Halloween, Winter, and Spring Celebrations.
Signing up does not guarantee that you will be selected for the in-person role, however, you will at least be offered a role as an at home team member. At home team members will still help coordinate and communicate celebration plans.
The two room parents who come in for each celebration will lead the class in a craft, a book, a trivia type game, etc. There will not be food consumed at class celebrations.
To be an in-person room parent or part of a stay at home room parent team, you must be a member of our HSC. It's never too late to join! You will be notified if you are selected to be a room parent for this school year and communication with your classroom teacher will begin.
Thank you for your support!
Sign up to be a Room Parent HERE.
