We are looking forward to our Pick a Project Event on Wednesday! Please be sure to RSVP to your child’s teacher if you plan to attend. We cannot wait for you to join us and see our math learning in action. It’s always exciting to open our doors and showcase the hard work our students are doing each day.
Parent-Teacher Conference sign-up information was sent home from classroom teachers this week. Please don’t forget to schedule your conference time. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the growth your child has made so far this school year and discuss goals for the months ahead.
We are looking forward to an exciting event at Diamond Lake School! Information about our upcoming Pick a Project Day has been sent directly from your child’s classroom teacher. Please be sure to check ParentSquare for details about the schedule and what to expect. We are especially excited to welcome families into the building on March 4th for a special math exploration event. This will be a wonderful opportunity to engage in hands-on math activities alongside your child and see their learning in action.
