Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we enter November, we want to take a moment to thank you for your ongoing support and involvement in our school community. This month not only showcases the beauty of fall but also presents opportunities for reflection and growth for both our students and our community.
In this newsletter, you'll find updates on upcoming events, highlights from recent activities, and important reminders.
Here are a few key points:
Gratitude and Reflection: November is a time for gratitude, and we want to express our appreciation for your continued support and partnership with our school. Our dedicated teachers and staff are thankful for the privilege of educating and nurturing your children, and we value your engagement in their educational journeys.
Upcoming Events: Please check our school calendar for several events happening this month, including Parent Conferences, the Scholastic Book Fair, Camo Day in support of our veterans, and the AWFAE's Night of Excellence. We encourage both you and your child to participate actively in these events to stay connected with our school community.
Parent Conferences: You should have received an email on October 23 from one of your child's team teachers. You can book an appointment with your child's team if you have concerns about your child's progress, behavior, or other concern by following the directions in the email. You also received separate emails from each individual Enrichment Teacher (as they teach the whole school).
Please note that middle school is different from elementary school and each grade level has around 200 students. If you have no concerns at this time and concerns arise later in the year, please don't hesitate to reach out to meet with the team or individual teacher as the year progresses. Teachers are happy to meet with families and it doesn't have to be just during November!
Safety Reminders: The safety and well-being of our students is our top priority. As temperatures drop, please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. Additionally, please keep track of where your child is after school. There is no supervision at sporting events, and students should not remain after school unless with a teacher or advisor. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a safe environment for our school community.
Community Engagement: Our school is more than just a place for academics; it’s a lively community. We invite parents to engage with our Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) or other school-related committees. Your involvement can make a significant difference in our school’s life.
Thanksgiving Break: As Thanksgiving approaches, we wish you all a happy and safe holiday. Our school will be closed for the Thanksgiving break, so please refer to the school calendar for specific dates.
In closing, we want to stress that your partnership is invaluable. Together, we can help our students thrive academically and personally. Please stay informed by reading our monthly newsletters, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. We are here to support you and your child throughout the school year.
Wishing you a wonderful November filled with growth and gratitude.
Warm regards,
Kristina Bogosh and Lori Shattuck
