Dear Young Families,

The first two days of school went very well. Young students and staff were very excited to be back in the building learning and working together. On Thursday, students participated in the First Day of School Assembly where we celebrated being back at school, viewed first day of school pictures, and talked about the importance of respect with each other. Over the next two weeks, students and their classmates will continue to participate in class and team building activities in order to connect with each other and develop relationships with their peers and classroom teacher.

The staff and I would like to thank the PTA and parent volunteers for providing the Young staff with a wonderful back to school breakfast as well as providing morning supervision. The food was yummy! What a great way to end the week.

Please make a note on your calendar that school is not in session on Friday, September 1 or Monday, September 4.

Sincerely,

Ms. Morgan

Principal, Young School
