Welcome back, students and families!!

We hope all of you had a joyful and restful Christmas/Holiday/New Year’s break.

As we start the new year, I would like to reiterate my sincere thanks for your continued partnership in your child's education—your support is truly invaluable to their success.

To ensure a smooth transition and set a foundation for the months ahead, this week we will be focusing on reinforcing our essential routines and school-wide expectations. We will start our return to school with our Morning Express Assembly on Monday, January 5th at 8:45am. The goal of the assembly is to welcome back our students and staff. We will also be using this assembly time together to review what it means to S.O.A.R. (click link) at Fairgrieve Elementary in all areas of the school along with revisiting our shared commitments and goals.

With Kind Regards,

Eric P. Koproski
