Carus School News
Dear Carus Families,
As we transition further into the academic year, I am continually impressed by the growth and accomplishments of our students. Each day, they inspire us with their curiosity, creativity, and resilience. We encourage parents to engage in conversations with their children about their learning experiences and celebrate their achievements, big or small.
Our upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled for March 20-21. This is a valuable opportunity for you to connect with your child's teachers, discuss their progress, and collaborate on strategies to support their development. Sign-ups have gone out and we encourage you to log on and find a slot that works for you!
Please take a moment to review the school calendar for any additional important dates, we hope to see you at our PTA meeting this month, on March 13 at 6pm. We will be looking at the events calendar for next school year and would love your input and collaboration.
Thank you for your continued partnership and involvement in our school community. Together, we make Carus a place where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
Warm Regards,
Nicole Goff
Carus Principal
