| | | | | MESSAGE FROM MR. MEDWED  Dear Parents,
Another wonderful week at KSA! Our fourth graders, led by their teachers Sharon and Marilyn, created a meaningful assembly for our school for Veteran's Day which showcased so much of what gives us pride in our school, our students, and our country!
By the time you read this, most of you will have completed your fall parent-teacher conferences and will no doubt be thinking about all that you talked about with your child(ren)'s teachers.
Conference evenings and days are intense for us as educators and in many ways are much more tiring by the end of the process than a regular school day! However, we relish these opportunities to meet with each of you, to talk, to listen and to think together about our children, our most precious possessions. While these formal opportunities are important for communicating and understanding in greater detail all that is going on, I want to encourage everyone to use this opportunity as a springboard to more communication. Teaching and learning is a 24/7 endeavor and requires a team approach in order for it to be most successful, as when our kids experience the same expectations, hear the same language and see the same behaviors both in and out of school, they are more likely to take ownership of them and to make them their own.
The best education for our students is a partnership--a joint effort from the school, the home, the shul, the camp, and the kehillah, the community. Together, we can shape the next generation of wonderful people.
Thanks for entrusting your children to us and thanks for being our partner in this holy and awesome endeavor.
Shabbat Shalom!
