Tuesday, September 3rd will be a short day of welcoming students to school. Wednesday, September 4th will be a full day. The school staff will be getting to know your children and teaching them a little about our school, expectations, procedures, etc. The office staff will be gathering attendance information and working to establish permanent classroom placements. As of this moment, students are still in tentative placements. Once the numbers have been finalized and district adjustments have been made, we will be able to formally announce the class lists. Meanwhile, we appreciate your patience and understanding.

The beginning of the school year brings enthusiasm and energy and a sense of optimism and renewal that no other time of year offers. Some children may also be feeling a little anxious about the return to school, as there is some uncertainty. Please remind your child to focus on what is familiar to them and to trust they have the skills necessary to adapt to a new situation. Some children find it helpful to redirect their worries, by doing acts of kindness (making a point to welcome new staff or students or drawing pictures at home and giving them to people at school who they think might be worried).
We are so delighted that you are part of our amazing learning community and look forward to working with you and your children. Next week, you will receive the first edition of our newsletter, introducing our new staff members and covering a variety of school topics.
