 Dear Parents and Guardians,
We hope this email finds you well. As we wrap up the first week of school, we wanted to share a brief recap of our successful start.
Your children have settled into their classrooms seamlessly, and we are impressed with their enthusiasm and engagement. The teachers have been working tirelessly to create a positive and supportive learning environment.
We would like to thank you for your continued support and involvement in your child's education. Your partnership is essential to our success.
Please be sure to mark your calendars for our upcoming Back-to-School Night on September 27th from 6pm-8pm. We will be offering two identical sessions so that parents who have more than one student will be able to visit both classrooms. This is a great opportunity to meet your child's teachers and learn more about our school programs.
We hope you will join us for our first PTO meeting of the school year and Principal coffee on Friday, September 13th at 9am. After our brief PTO meeting, we will share important curriculum updates around the Virginia Literacy Act.
We look forward to another fantastic year together!
Sincerely,
Amy Briggs
