Harry Hoag's Monthly Roundup
February 2024
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Families,
I hope this message finds you well and that the new year has brought you joy and renewed energy. As we step into the month of February, I wanted to take a moment to share some important updates and reminders.
First, I want to express my gratitude for your continued support and collaboration in making our school community thrive. We truly believe that education is a partnership between home and school, and your involvement is invaluable.
February is often associated with love and kindness, and I want to emphasize the importance of fostering these values within our school. Our dedicated teachers and staff are working tirelessly to create a nurturing environment where every student feels safe, respected, and supported. Let us continue to encourage our children to be kind, compassionate, and inclusive towards one another.
A new marking period begins, which officially marks the half way point of the school year. It is hard to believe we have completed half of our time together this year. Spend time celebrating the successes, as well as, making goals for the next two quarters.
We are also looking forward to Winter Break this month. Winter Break begins February 19th, spend the week doing things that make you happy!
As always, I encourage you to stay involved in your child's education. Regular communication between home and school is essential for their success. Please remember to check our school website and social media platforms for important updates, upcoming events, and resources to support your child's learning.
Wishing you a wonderful month filled with love, kindness, and growth.
Best regards,
Jodi Coppolo

Attendance
Attendance in elementary school fosters a sense of community. By being present, students have the opportunity to form friendships, build positive relationships with teachers and staff, and actively participate in classroom activities. This sense of belonging contributes to a supportive and inclusive learning environment, which enhances the overall educational experience.
