Words from Principal Wirth
We are in the final week before Spring Break!! i know we are all looking forward to a week of recharging the batteries and preparing for the final quarter of the year!
The fourth quarter will be busy...and quick! The last student day is Tuesday, May 24th. That means when we return back on Monday, April 4th, we will have seven weeks of school remaining. That will fly by, considering that a normal quarter is nine weeks!
The fourth quarter will include:
- ILEARN Testing for grades 3-6 starting Tuesday, April 19
- NWEA EOY Testing for all grades starting on Tuesday, May 10
It is important we close out the year strong and our students show what they know! They need to be here each day and engaged in learning to help them prep for next school year and beyond.

WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!!! Please click on the link below to access our Panorama Family Survey, which closes on Friday, March 25!
Report Cards- 3/18
If you have any questions about your child's grades, please contact their teacher.
FOOD PANTRY- GLEANERS PARTNERSHIP
The food pantry will be stocked with nutritional items that you can find at a grocery store. It will be open then following dates/times each month:
- First and Third Monday- 4-5 pm
- Second and Fourth Wednesday- 4-5 pm
This will be open to any families that attend Christian Park 82 and will serve the entire family, not just students. We will start with you picking up a box of food that you select from a list. Eventually, you will be able to come in and shop in the building.
If you are interested in this support, please contact the school and ask for Ms. Napoli (English) or Ms. Gutierrez (Spanish). They will take information from you to make sure we are fully prepared.
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM- CAMPTOWN!!!
Due to staffing issues, we have to split the grade levels to attend on Tuesday only. Until Spring Break, here is the schedule:
3/1- 3rd/4th Grade
3/8- 5th/6th Grade
3/15- 3rd/4th Grade
3/22- 5th/6th Grade
Once Camptown has hired more staff, then both grade levels will attend both days. We didn't expect this many of students to be interested!!!
If you have questions, please reach out to the school!
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT GOAL UPDATES
- ILEARN Pass Rate- 14.52% (TBD)
- NWEA Projected Pass Rate- 17.57% (12.88%)
- Median Growth Percentile- 43.7 (26.4%)
How can you help? Stress the importance of reading with your kiddos! Listen to them read, read with them, read to them!
Math- this are our Math goals for this school year. They are around our progress on ILEARN (state assessment for grades 3-6) and NWEA (district assessment for all grades).
- ILEARN Pass Rate- 14.47% (TBD)
- NWEA Projected Pass Rate- 14.26% (16.17%)
- Median Growth Percentile- 40.4% (54%)
Our staff and students did an AMAZING JOB in growing our students in math! We met both end of year goals in the middle of the year! We will push to make sure we continue our upward trend!
ATTENDANCE MATTERS!!!!
Being at school every day matters- it is the only way your child will academically and socially grow!
Our school has an attendance goal that 60.82% of our students will be here 144/180 days of the the school year.
Right now, we are on track to meet this goal. In order for that to happen, our students need to be in school ALL day, EVERY day they can be here.
- Instruction Starts- 9:20 am
- Instruction Ends- 3:50 pm
I know that things come up, but every single minute counts. Unless your child is sick or has a pre-planned appointment, they need to be here EVERY DAY.
When we go to an asynchronous day for inclement weather or other reasons, your child will need to log into their Schoology account to access the work they need to complete those days. Completing their work is the way they get marked present; if they don't do the work, they get marked absent.
If this is a struggle, please reach out so we can help problem solve with you!
