February Japhet Family Newsletter
February 1, 2024
Japhet Families,
As January ends, we have so much to look forward to in the coming month. We will celebrate kindness, friendship and the 100th day of school. We will also celebrate Black History Month by honoring the achievements and contributions of influential figures who have shaped our world. We look forward to engaging our young scholars in the events and activities that we planned throughout the month.
In February, we will especially focus on student growth and progress. Teachers will conduct parent conferences to ensure that you are informed of your child's academic strengths areas for growth. Please ensure that you take advantage of these opportunities to communicate openly and work together to support your child's success.
As families, you play a crucial role in nurturing your child's intellectual curiosity and fostering their development. Encourage them to read a variety of books, engage in meaningful conversations and explore their interests outside of school.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, concerns or ideas. We are here to support you and your child.
Wishing you a month filled with warmth, love and kindness,
Melody Clay
Principal, Japhet Academy
