Dear Wildcat Families,
Happy New Year!
We hope you enjoyed the holiday break! The new year always brings the hope of newly formed habits, a fresh start, or a renewed focus. We want to thank you for completing the district survey to help us both celebrate the great work we have in place and also to reflect on the things we can do better. This survey feedback will inform team planning as we move through the year as well as begin plans for 2023-2024.
In January, we will complete winter screening of all students to analyze growth from fall to winter. Teachers and staff use the data from these screening tools to inform instruction.
We will also host a Town Hall on January 19th from 6-7 pm in the library to discuss our tiered behavioral supports and safety. We hope you can join us!
It's great to be a Wildcat!
Mrs. Middling, Principal
