Hi everyone! Welcome to the start of a new school year! I am looking forward to getting to know all of you. We are going to have a very busy and productive year filled with exciting learning activities and school events. The fifth grade students will achieve much this year in terms of academic growth, greater self-confidence, and improved social skills. My goal is to create an atmosphere of open communication regarding your child’s progress and behavior. Therefore, if you have any questions or concerns throughout the school year, please feel free to contact me via email ([email protected]) or note in your child’s planner.
While I will be sending home a detailed Back to School Packet on the First Day of School, I wanted to share some important details with you before we get started on Thursday!
