Weekly News Updates concerning Landmark HS
Hello,
I hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend. It's hard to believe we're entering the last full week before Thanksgiving. This is an important time for students to get ready for miniPBATs and PBAT work that will happen during Better Academic Self week, the days before Thanksgiving. Better Academic Self week also has study hall time built in for students to improve their grades before the marking period ends on December 6th. This week, including Parent Teacher Conferences, is a key opportunity for everyone to communicate about what students need to do in order to earn the best grades possible. I'm looking forward to this time of reaching for our best academic selves. Please let me know anything I can do to support.
Best, Susanna
