Principal's Message

Dear Van Wert Families,

We are looking forward to a busy and exciting week here at Van Wert Elementary!

This week includes Conference Day, Spring MAP Testing, GAA testing, and our much-anticipated Sneaker Ball. Each of these events is an important part of supporting your child’s growth—both academically and socially.

Conference Day provides a valuable opportunity for you to connect with your child’s teacher and discuss their progress. We encourage all families to take advantage of this time to strengthen the home-school partnership.

During Spring MAP and GAA testing, we ask for your support in ensuring your child arrives at school on time, well-rested, and ready to do their best. A calm and positive mindset can make a big difference in their performance.

We are also excited to celebrate our students with the Sneaker Ball! This is a fun event that helps build school community and gives students something special to look forward to.

Thank you for your continued support of Van Wert Elementary. We appreciate your partnership and all you do to help your child succeed.

Warm regards,

Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.

Principal
