Principal’s Update & Important Dates
We see the partnership between students, their families, and the school as vital, much like the teamwork required for space exploration. So, don’t miss your chance to “launch” into a parent-teacher conference next week! You’ll have the opportunity to connect with the teacher, learn about your student’s classroom adventures, and discuss ways we can work together to support your student’s journey. We’re thrilled to have you as part of our stellar LaunchED community and appreciate your willingness to join forces with our teachers. Thank you!
