In the library, I have been reading a fantastic book called “The Wild Robot” by Peter Brown. This book is filled with adventure and has captivated the imaginations of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. We are also learning a bit about AI and Machine Learning. Ask your student about it!
Mark your calendars because we will also be hosting a Book Fair during parent conferences in February. It’s an excellent opportunity to explore new books, and add them to your reading collection, or purchase one for your teacher’s classroom. February 6th, 8th and 12th.
Additionally, Ms. Campbell and I have been providing creative enrichment activities for the kindergartners every week. I’m sure you have noticed the numerous creations that have come home over the past five months.
Thank you for keeping books safe, feeling free to communicate with me, and supporting the school.
Mr. Welch

Dear parents,
We hope this message finds you well. We want to emphasize the importance of parent-teacher conferences in your child’s educational journey. These conferences provide a valuable opportunity for open communication between you and your child’s teachers.
We encourage all families to actively participate in these conferences, as they serve as a platform to discuss your child’s progress, address any concerns, and collaborate on strategies to support their education. Your involvement plays a crucial role in fostering a positive and effective learning environment for your child.
We look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the upcoming parent-teacher conferences. Your presence and engagement in these discussions contribute significantly to your child’s overall educational experience.
Thank you for your commitment to your child’s education.
Ryan Ball, Principal
