From the Principal
Happy February! Welcome to the second half of the year!
We had a tremendous turnout for our Kindness Challenges at the end of January and it was wonderful to see and hear so many acts of kindness. Continue to encourage your children to keep them up!
Report cards will be emailed to parents on February 8th and Parent/Teacher Conferences will take place on March 7th and 8th. More information will be sent in the middle of the month. If you have questions or concerns about your child's progress, please reach out to the teacher.
We are excited to host Valentine Parties in each classroom on Monday, February 14th. Your child's teacher will be reaching out with more specific information. Due to Covid protocols, our celebration will be similar to our Halloween party.
I am grateful for all that you do each day for our students and staff.
Sincerely,
Kim VerMerris
Principal
