March 2012
Principal’s Message
Dear Parents,
The month of February seems to have gone by quickly! The month of March certainly promises to be a busy and productive one as well.
We are now approaching the end of the second term and look forward to posting student progress reports on School Zone on March 14. Progress reports give parents a snapshot of student learning, providing important information about the curricular knowledge, skills and attitudes students have acquired. Student-led and parent-teacher conferences, to be held on March 15 and during the week of March 19-23, elaborate on this information, clarifying how students are progressing toward achievement goals and sharing information about next steps in learning. Student-led conferences are a wonderful opportunity for students to share and celebrate with their parents the tremendous learning that has taken place this term. We look forward to seeing all parents attend conferences!
In the four months remaining in this school year, we will continue to focus on achieving learning goals for all students, as well as continuing to develop as citizens of character. For the month of March, our character education focus is Trustworthiness. This foundational virtue underlies our ability to interact with others in a variety of settings, as trust is at the heart of all human relationships. Our students are learning the importance of being able to be trusted to be honest and to do what they say they will do.
Thank you, parents, for all that you do. Your continued support in reading with your children, supervising homework completion, and ensuring students are prepared to be at school on time each day is greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Renée McLaws
Principal
