Dear 6th Grade Parents and Guardians,


I hope this letter finds you well. I enjoyed meeting many of you on Thursday at our Curriculum Night. I trust that you enjoyed your weekend and had a marvelous Monday. Although I missed snapshots from Talk Like a Pirate Day, I was able to get some photos from Curriculum Night and from the Gondola race challenge in 6th grade Science that I'm excited to share with you!


As Nichols team, we'd like to express our heartfelt thanks to our wonderful PTA for their generous support. They have funded the attendance of several of our math teachers at the upcoming National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) conference. This opportunity will allow our educators to enhance their skills and bring back valuable knowledge to benefit our students' learning experience.


We're excited about the positive impact this will have on our math instruction and are grateful for the PTA's commitment to our teachers' professional development.


As always, we appreciate your support and partnership in your child's education. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.


Best Regards,

Ms. Brunson

6th Grade Assistant Principal
