Principal's Message

Dear Van Wert Families,


Welcome back! We hope you and your family had a relaxing and enjoyable Spring Break and were able to spend meaningful time together. We are excited to have our students back at school and ready to begin this important final stretch of the school year.


As we return, our focus is on reestablishing routines, maintaining strong academic expectations, and supporting students as they continue to grow and succeed. This is a critical time for learning, and we encourage all students to stay engaged, work hard, and finish the year strong.


You can support your child by:

  • Helping them reestablish consistent daily routines
  • Encouraging them to stay focused on their schoolwork
  • Ensuring they get adequate rest each night
  • Communicating with their teacher regarding any questions or needs


We are proud of the progress our students have made so far and look forward to all they will accomplish in the weeks ahead. Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our school.


Let’s work together to make this a strong and successful finish to the school year!


Warm regards,


Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.

Principal
