Parents & Guardians,

It was a very successful few weeks of Parent-Teacher Conferences. Thank you to all of those that took the time to get online to celebrate your child. Also, a big thank you to all of the families that provided food for the staff meals. We appreciate you!

We are excited to celebrate Valentine's Day with our students on Monday, February 14. Teachers should have provided their individual classroom plans with you. We are excited that we are able to provide the students with this fun celebration this year! Student Council is also sponsoring a dress-up day on February 14 so make sure to wear your favorite Valentine's outfit or red, pink, purple, white!

There's only a few weeks left to nominate a teacher for the Tribute to Teachers award. The deadline to nominate is Wednesday, February 23. Thank you to all of those that have already submitted a nomination.

A reminder that we have a four-day weekend coming up. There is no school on Friday, February 18 and Monday, February 21. Enjoy the long weekend.

We will continue to celebrate and recognize "kindness" throughout the month of February. This week, February 17, is National Random Acts of Kindness Day.

Please let me know what you need and how I can support you.

Sincerely,

Nancy Pitz
Principal
