Notes by Mrs. Carder
We are stressing to the students about the need to FINISH strong! It is vitally important to finish strong to show what we have learned on end of year assessments - MAP and iReady as well as keep our attendance above 96%. We have worked hard all year and want our kids to shine in all areas of performance for the last quarter. Please partner with us to make that happen for our kids.
There has been complaints about double parking during dismissal - this causes issues. Please go through the car line or find parking that doesn't block the car lines or parked cars to walk up and get your child THE SAFEST WAY TO GET YOUR CHILD IS THE CAR LINE OR BUS. The parking lot is not safe to walk on with all the movement of vehicles.
The weeks of April 22 and April 29 are crucial for 3rd and 4th graders! We want the kids to be well rested and ready for the MAP. Mark your calendars if you have a 3rd or 4th grader.
Best Attendance from Last Month
1st - Hamm
2nd - Tappmeyer
3rd - Conroy
The building average was 95% which is below are building goal of 96%. Sickness has hit us hard. Hopefully we are on the mend:) We were in 5th place for the district and our goal each month is to be in the top 3.
We had only 20 with perfect attendance for 3rd quarter - let's hope for many more for 4th quarter!
