Friday, October 30
It’s been a pleasure to meet virtually with many of you over the course of the past two weeks in Parent-Teacher Conferences. We appreciate you making the time to meet with teachers to discuss strategies to help your student/s find academic success even during our closure.
Attendance
To encourage more academic involvement, teachers may mark a student absent who has logged in to a synchronous class but is not responding to the teacher verbally or in the chat. Please encourage your student to be active and engaged when in the virtual classroom with their teachers.
Annual Giving Drive
We are asking every family to donate to the Annual Giving Drive by 10/31. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and 100% of the funds go directly to help our school keep our small class sizes, our rich program, college counseling, athletics, arts, and much more. Please donate generously and know that no amount is too small. So far we're at xx% participation and we want to see how close we can get to 100% of our community giving whatever they're able - every dollar counts. Strong participation from our families also inspires outside funders to support our school, too.http://www.larchmontcharter.org/give
Thank you for all you do to make Larchmont great!
