Greetings Falcon Families!
Thank you to all that attended our Open House. I hope you found the information shared with you useful and that you enjoyed seeing what your student is working on in class.
I do not have a lot of information to cover in this week's newsletter, but I do want to remind you that next week is a 4 day week and so is the week after that.
I would like to ask a favor of you, if you walk your child to class in the mornings, I kindly ask that you drop them off and exit the building. This is the time that our teachers use to greet their students in the morning and check on their emotional well-being, if you engage the teacher(s) in conversations about your child, grades, etc then they are unable to do what has been asked of them. If you have concerns, please schedule a time to meet with your child's teacher.
If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Lara
