Principal's Message
Dear Van Wert Families,
As we approach Spring Break, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support of our school, students, and staff. This time of year is always exciting, and we are proud of the hard work our students have shown throughout the semester.
During this final week before the break, we remain focused on maintaining a strong learning environment. We encourage all students to continue putting forth their best effort, following school expectations, and making positive choices both academically and behaviorally.
You can help support your child this week by:
- Encouraging them to stay focused and complete all assignments
- Reinforcing the importance of positive behavior at school
- Ensuring they get plenty of rest each night
- Communicating with their teacher if you have any questions or concerns
Spring Break is a well-earned time for rest and renewal. We hope your family enjoys this time together and that our students return refreshed and ready to finish the school year strong.
Thank you again for your partnership and support. We appreciate all you do to help make our school a great place to learn and grow.
Wishing you a safe and enjoyable Spring Break!
Warm regards,
Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.
Principal
