Thacher News
Note from the Head of School

Dear Families,

We hope that you enjoyed the first parent-teacher conferences of the school year. These meetings, although brief, play a crucial role in building a solid relationship between the school and the families. At Thacher, we believe in working closely with families to ensure that their children receive the best possible education. Conferences are opportunities for open communication, personalized feedback, and goal-setting, all critical to supporting your child's educational and personal development.

We encourage you to continue to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions about your child's education. This open dialogue will lead to a deeper understanding of your child's needs and progress within the Montessori environment and strengthen the relationship between school and home. It takes a village!

In partnership,

Deba
