Principal Post
Dear Dena'ina Families,
We are so happy to have had a great kickoff to a new school year. Thank you again for flexibility, patience and respect as we navigate this new normal.
We especially appreciate your patience with our Zoom classroom meetings this week. We were testing out how to get our At-Home Learners connected with their classmates in school during class meetings. We had a few technical difficulties but overall it went well. We will continue those meetings on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Zoom meetings are not recorded, and are done in a manner to comply with FERPA privacy laws.
Fall testing is underway - you will receive MAP and/or AIMSWeb reports by the end of September. During Parent/Teacher conferences (November 2nd & 3rd) you'll discuss with teachers how your child is progressing - and we look forward to another year partnering with you for their success!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Everett
