Back to School Night for Kindergarten - 5th Grade

BACK TO SCHOOL LETTER FROM ANDREW MOORE

I hope your summer is going well. We are enjoying the time to plan and prepare for next year. We feel great about the momentum we all built over the course of the past year, and are thrilled to be welcoming new families into our community of learners.

We have hired our new teachers, all of whom are eager to apply their wealth of experience and expertise to our wonderful program. If inclined, please take a few minutes to meet our new teachers through this link to our staff webpage. Looking ahead, you will notice an increased emphasis on our web based communication. We recognize that Infinite Campus has been a challenging tool for families to use, and so we have spent time recommitting our efforts to making that service the best that it can be. In an effort to supply you with a concise calendar, we are also creating a hanging wall calendar with all of our events for the upcoming school year. Also online is the Family and Student Handbook. We continually work to increase your awareness and connection with our classrooms, PTO events, and Board of Directors.

Enclosed is this Eblast is some helpful information, which you will need for a successful transition back to school on August 17.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Kind regards,

Andrew Moore
