GW Pulse

Dear Families,

Happy Spring !! I hope that this new season is an opportunity for you to see the great growth that has taken place this school year. Together we planted little seedlings in September and we are about to reap the beautiful harvest of seeing those flowers bloom in a variety of ways. Our students have gotten smarter, wiser and more responsible over the past 7 months and I can't wait to see their continued growth as we head into Quarter 4. My team and I will be working diligently to ensure that your student is ready to transition into the next grade over the next 11-12 weeks of school. If there is anything that we can do to further support your student's growth, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. I will be having two parent meetings on next Wednesday, April 9th, 2025 to support you and your family with the transition into the last Quarter of the year. Please check out the details below:

• Are You Ready for Quarter 4 at GW? In Person Meeting - 4/9/25 at 9:00am

• Are You Ready for Quarter 4 at GW? Virtual Meeting - 4/9/25 at 4:00pm
• virtual link will be provided the day of the event (via email and posted on the website)

I look forward to seeing you there - we will be talking about NYS Testing, important end of the year events, academic supports at home and so much more!

Warmly & In partnership

Proud Principal of George Washington Intermediate School
