Dear Parents,

We are all bristling with an interesting combination of excitement and spring fever here at school! We know what a challenge it can be to stay focused during the waning days of the school year and we thank you for helping your child stay on track through the end of May!

On April 30, we are halfway through our final marking period. For this quarter, teachers will only be sending Interim Reports for students who are in danger of failing a class. On May 14, we will send home a copy of the revised Student Support Plan for students who are returning to De LaSalle next year. Every parent will also be provided with the standardized test scores for the year. The support plan, test scores, and end-of-year academic outcomes will be discussed at parent-teacher conferences on May 29 &amp; 30. Report cards and therapy progress notes will be mailed after the last day of school.

Thank you for your amazing support as we work so diligently during these final weeks of school, PLUS prepare to move our entire program to our new home on May 31. There is definitely no shortage of energy allowed this month!

All the best,

Mrs. Lori Riti
