Maple Street Magnet School
January 2024 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!
What Are Your Goals For January?
Setting short term goals is just as, if not more, important as setting long term goals! Writing these goals down and talking about them with someone brings you even closer to achieving them! This month, talk to your student(s) about what their short term and long term goals are!
This month, we begin our middle of the year district assessments. Each of our students have worked hard to reach their goals since August, and we are excited to see how far they've come and what else we can do to support each child, meeting them where they are at.
In this newsletter, you will find:
