Dear Parents, Students, Staff, and Partners:

Welcome back! We hope you had an enjoyable and restful summer. We are excited about the start of the 2022-2023 school year. Embedded in the mission of Whispering Pines School is a continued focus on academics and social/emotional learning. Our staff remain dedicated to schoolwide instructional practices that enhance self-awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making. We are proud of the academic achievements our students made throughout the last year and look forward to continued growth. As always, we seek to create a welcoming, particularly and caring climate for learning through collaboration with families, community members and stakeholders.

Please be reminded that students must wear identification badges throughout the school day. During the first week of school, all students will be provided with a badge and a removable lanyard to wear. The badge will be collected at the end of each school day. It is also noteworthy that students and staff will be entering and dismissing from the single point of entry only.

My door is always open to parents, teachers, students, and staff. If you have a question, I will do my best to find the correct answer. Thank you, in advance, for your support this year. Your support also allows us to be focused directly on instruction and helping our students meet with success.

Sincerely,

Michael Gleason
