| A Look at What's Happening at Landmark... | | | | | | | |  No School Today, Thursday, November 11th A reminder that there will be no school today, Thursday, November 11th, Veteran’s Day. Our Faculty will be participating in an in-service day, which will include child protection training and additional SmartBoard training Inclement WeatherMonday’s early morning hailstorm was a reminder that winter weather is just around the corner. Within the next week, we will be conducting a test of our SchoolReach automated message system. All parents should be aware that we may follow different procedures than the Westport public schools during inclement weather due to site specific conditions and staffing requirements. We will alert you by email before launching a test of this system.
NAEYC ConferenceEach year, our annual fund is dedicated to providing our faculty with exceptional professional development experiences. Educational researchers have repeatedly found that good teachers and administrators make the biggest positive impact on student learning outcomes. This conference, presented by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, is the largest conference dedicated to early childhood professionals in the country. Keeping our faculty current and revitalized with new ideas is one of the ways we keep the best things happening in our classrooms. This year, our music teacher, Mrs. Linda Reynolds and our P.E. teacher Mrs. Leslie Chiodi attended the conference and came back filled with enthusiasm and wonderful new ideas. Many thanks to all who supported our annual fund last year for making this opportunity possible.
