Principal Post
Dear Dena'ina Families,
Welcome back to school for the second half of the year! We hope to see you at our next family event on January 16th - see details below, plus flyers and facebook posts will be out soon.
We finished our winter MAP and AIMSWeb testing before break and plan to celebrate the fall to winter growth in late January with our winter field day. New reports will be coming home with report cards after the break is over. Students have set new goals for growth with their teachers and are eager to reach their targets. Parents are a critical part of this; creating routines at home for reading aloud, practicing math facts and spelling words is proven to increase achievement. Facts and spelling words can easily be practiced during car rides. Reading aloud is an awesome way to end the day before bed. If you regularly practice these at home - thank you! You are contributing to your child's success!
Respectfully,
Sincerely,
Mrs. Everett
Bus Riders - please have a flashlight, head lamp or glow stick at the bus stop so the drivers can clearly see you! Remember, they have to be turned off on the bus.
