Weekly Parent Email – September 10, 2021
Has your student or family experienced a TLE at Leadership Academy of Utah this week? A TLE, or Transformational Learning Experience, helps students change the way they view themselves or the world in a profound way. If you or your student has had a TLE, please share it here! We love hearing about great experiences our students have in the classroom or on adventures with their classmates.
Also, we’re looking forward to getting to know you better during Parent-Mentor Conferences next week! We encourage you to sign up at the link below to meet directly with your student’s mentors.
Sincerely,
Pete Jensen
Executive Director, LAU
