Weekly Parent Email – March 12, 2021
As midterms come to an end, I’m sure your student is more than ready for next week’s Spring Break. I hope this upcoming week is rejuvenating for both you and your student. There will be no update next Friday, but we’ll be back on March 26!
Sincerely,
Pete Jensen
Executive Director, LAU
