Volume 3, Number 2, September 2023
Dear Families,
I am pleased to say school is off to a terrific start! Our attendance is up and classrooms are filled with students already hard at work growing as learners.
We’re sending our October newsletter home early so you know about Back To School Night. We hope you will be able to join us online next Thursday, September 28th, at 6 pm to meet your students’ teachers and hear about their exciting plans for the year. This is a new event for us and part of our commitment to partnering with you to support your student’s education.
Please feel free to reach out to the school at any time with any questions or concerns.
Best,
M-J Mercanti-Anthony, Ed.D
Principal
