Weekly News Updates concerning Landmark HS

Dear Students and Families,

We hope you had a restful weekend! This is a busy and exciting week at school. It was wonderful to welcome students back from our first college overnight trip, and we’re excited to keep that momentum going by taking advantage of CUNY Application Week.

Report cards come out this Thursday, October 29. We share this progress check early in the semester so students have plenty of time to correct course and reach their goals before final grades. Students, use this as a chance to see what’s working and where you want to grow. There’s still time! Parents, please speak with your child and your child’s advisor about their progress and goals.

We’re also kicking off Halloween Spirit Week! We can’t wait to see everyone’s creativity and school spirit. Please read the reminders below, stay safe, and have fun!

📣 Announcements

Thank you to our Leadership Team for planning Spirit Week! Costumes are welcome and encouraged, but they must be school-appropriate and follow NYC school rules, including:

Stay safe and have a fun day!
