Greetings SJLES Families,
I hope you all enjoyed the long Memorial Day Weekend and the nice weather yesterday. As we turn another page on the calendar today to June, it provides an overt reminder that our time together this school year is coming to a close. We look forward to finishing this school year strong, celebrating our students, and making some final fond memories to lead us into summer.
We hope to see you tomorrow, Wednesday, 6/2 at 1:30 PM for our final Coffee and Conversation of the school year. This version of Coffee and Conversation will include not only our administrative team but our entire school leadership team. During this time our families can ask questions and gain insights from our SJLES leaders regarding all aspects of our school programming now and going forward. Click here to RSVP and provide us with insights to topics you would like to discuss. You do not have to RSVP to attend, but we appreciate you doing so to help us best prepare for our time together. The Google Meet code is SJLESCoffeeWith. We hope to see you tomorrow and have a great rest of your week!
Sincerely,
Dan Notari
SJLES Principal
