Greetings from the Principal Dear Parents and Guardians, Thank you to those parents who attended Student-Led Parent-Teacher Conferences on October 18th and 19th Please continue to communicate with your child’s teacher throughout the school year. The teachers are best able to speak about the specific academic, social and emotional needs of your child. SLPTC are a very important time for parents and teachers to work together to continue the great academic growth that students are making this year. If you were unable to attend your conference, please contact your child’s teacher to set up another time. Parents are a vital component in student success in school and it is very important that parents and teachers are working together to help enhance student learning. We appreciate your efforts! We have been working hard this year to provide students with an understanding of Korean Culture. Students have experienced the Korean Cultural Village, The National Museum and the Korean War Memorial so far this autumn. Our Character Word for October was Fairness. Teachers have been able to educate our students on the importance of Fairness. Students learn more about the concept of -fairness- by being involved in different activities provided by teachers. A student from each grade level earned Fairness Certificate by demonstrating exemplar fairness behavior. Our November Character Word is Responsibility. We look forward to continuing the development of our ethical individuals throughout this school year. Emin Huseynov
