Families and Students,

I can't believe we are already at September. It has been a wonderful start to another amazing school year at Starr. Even though it has only been a month, we have had exciting things happening! Every classroom has begun to implement our new math curriculum, finished beginning of year NWEA testing, have celebrated a lot of positive office referrals, and started to come together as a Starr family. Your children are learning new things every day. As I visit classrooms, it makes me so proud to lead a building with so many great things happening for children! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have. Together, we will make this year great!!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Melissa Jordan
