It's Fall, Y'All! (Almost!)

Dear Little School Families,

We’ve just wrapped up our first two full weeks of school, and students have adjusted so well to their new routines. Over the past week, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting classrooms and seeing students working hard, engaging with their teachers, and already learning so much. It’s been a wonderful start to the year!

A big thank you to all who attended our Back to School Night last week. It was great to see so many families, share information about the year ahead, and strengthen the home-school connection.

Speaking of home-school connection, I am still looking for one more parent volunteer to join our School Council! We will meet 4 times this year to discuss our School Improvement Plan, educational goals for the school, the school budget, and more. We will meet for 1 hour on Mondays from 1:15-2:15. Please reach out if interested.

A quick reminder about morning drop-off:

• Students eating breakfast may arrive starting at 7:40 a.m.

• All other students may arrive beginning at 7:50 a.m.

As the weeks continue, you will notice academics really beginning to pick up. We value your partnership at home in helping students build strong work habits and make meaningful connections between what they are learning in school and the world around them.

Thank you for your support in making this a positive start to the year. We look forward to all that is ahead!

Warmly,

Julie Fahey, Principal

This year, The Little School is embracing the Six Pillars of Character: Caring, Fairness, Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, and Citizenship. Each trimester we’ll focus on two pillars—this fall it’s Caring and Trustworthiness. We encourage families to join us by talking with your children at home about what these traits look like in everyday life. Together, we can help our students grow as kind, responsible members of our community.

October 3rd- We’re excited to celebrate Rock Your School Day 2025! On this special day, students are encouraged to come dressed in their best rock and roll attire and get ready for a day filled with high-energy learning and fun. It’s a great way for our school community to celebrate creativity, enthusiasm, and school spirit—let’s rock the day together!

Just a reminder that grade 5 essays for Student Council Club are due on Wednesday September 24th. Essays should be 100-150 words on why they should be a part of the Little School's Student Council. Students can submit them to their classroom teacher.
