Landmark News Week of 3/10

Weekly News Updates concerning Landmark HS

Hello Landmark students and families,

I hope you had a great weekend! We lost an hour due to Daylight Savings, but now we're now moving towards longer days and warmer weather. It’s hard to believe how quickly this year is flying by! As we head into Spring, it’s especially important for students to stay focused on working towards your goals every day and continue supporting each other along the way. The first marking period ends this week, and we’ll have virtual parent-teacher conferences next Thursday evening and Friday afternoon. I’m excited for this opportunity to check on progress, set semester goals, and work together to support our students. Parents/guardinas, please contact your child's advisor to arrange a virtual meeting or phone call. Feel free to reach out to Parent Coordinator Isa Jimenez (ijimenezvazquez@schools.nyc.gov | 212-647-7410 x 4161) for any support.

As we continue working toward a more inclusive and supportive school, we are grateful for everyone who shows up as their full selves each day, making our school a stronger, more vibrant place. We also appreciate those committed to learning and supporting one another as allies. Below, you’ll find announcements about resources and opportunities to be involved. Thank you for your dedication to our core value of Building a Better Community.

Best, Susanna
