Dear Parents and Guardians,

It was great to see so many of you at curriculum night! I hope that you now have a better sense of the big picture and what your kids will be doing this year.

On Monday, we will kick off the first full week of school with a traditional

SWMM – School-wide Morning Meetings
School-wide Morning Meetings are bi-monthly gatherings
of the entire school in the auditorium. They are held 8:50-9:15 a.m.
on Monday mornings. Classes go upstairs from the yard, drop off bags & coats, and then come back down to the auditorium.
Parents and Guardians, we welcome you to join us whenever
you can for these gatherings and sit with your child.

Lets’s take a look at what’s ahead.
