Transcript of the Video

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

I hope that you all had a wonderful Spring Break.  I’ll admit it was nice to have the time off but it was equally as nice to welcome everyone back to school this week.  For me, it is hard to believe that today starts the month of May and that we are in the final push of the school year.

This is always a tricky time of year for schools as we have one foot in this year and one foot in beginning our planning for next year.  With this in mind a few weeks ago we sent out an email requesting you fill out a quick questionnaire to let us know your intentions for next year.  If you haven’t had a chance to submit a response yet here is the link to do so. Thanks for your help! 

I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday.

Warm Regards,
Mr. Ledebuhr
