Refreshing New Year!
January 2019 (We can't be just good, We have to be GREAT!)
Message from Principal Suchocki
As we push forward through the second semester we will be placing an extra emphasis on your child's progress both through progress monitoring and running records. We will monitor and communicate with our families what direction we may be looking as your child moves closer to their next grade level.
On a great note, we are asking for even more help from our families because our students are like sponges. They are ready to soak in all of your attention. You are the KEY component to their growth! Here is what you can do:
- PLEASE make sure your child is reading nightly (only 20 minutes.)
- Make time to read with them or monitor their reading. Let them read aloud and follow along. Show them that you are invested in their growth with developing stronger skills for reading.
- As for Math, invest 10 minutes a night and work on any skills they may need to strengthen or polish up on. If you have any questions ask their teacher.
As I say often, if we work together as a team and show our students we are team players, we will be unstoppable.

The new iLearn Assessments are computer-adaptive assessments adapt to each student’s mastery of the content throughout the assessment. Every time a student answers a question, his or her response helps determine the next question presented. The difficulty of the test will adjust to each student’s skills, providing a better measure of what each student knows and can do.

Mrs. Gray's 3rd Grade
Mrs. Gray's third-grade class celebrated the end of their City X Project. Mrs. Gray received an eLEAD mini-grant for a 3D printer and filament. This grant gave her students an opportunity to be exposed to design thinking and to experience enhanced STEAM integrated lessons through project-based learning. They were able to take their ideas and turn them into something tangible.

Weekly Student Attendance Incentive (PERFECT ATTENDANCE)
Each week any students that have perfect attendance will be placed in a drawing for having perfect attendance for that week.
We are taking our student's attendance very seriously. Again, Yes, each week selected students' names are drawn out and they receive a McDonald's gift card and other tokens of appreciation. Thank you Mrs. Tanksley and Mrs. Cartwright for taking lead on this.
