Once again welcome to the 2023-24 school year!
It’s been a great start to the new year so far! Grades 2-5 students met their teachers on Tuesday afternoon and started school on Wednesday whereas students in families in PreK-Grade 1 have been engaging in family meetings with teachers as well as starting to come to school everyday. Thank you goes out to all teachers and parents for working in partnership to support each child’s transition to their new grade level and classroom community!
We know that students of all ages are most successful when there is a strong home and school partnership where families are able to link the learning from school to home. This is why ISB faculty and leaders provide parents with tools and strategies to allow you to link learning happening at school to home in a wide variety of ways such as next week’s PreK-Grade 1 one-on-one meetings with families, August 24th ES Open House sessions, weekly Friday ISB ES eNews updates, classroom updates to parents, student Seesaw posts, regularly scheduled “ES Parent Engage” workshops, Grade Level Curriculum Unit Overviews, and student-parent-teacher conferences.
I wish all students, families, and teachers a great start of the year where building strong classroom communities in which every student feels a sense of belonging, and launching strong home and school partnerships are of the highest priorities!
Your partner in education,
Michael Allen
