News you can use from Dena'ina Elementary School
Principal Post
Dear Dena'ina Families,
I am happy to report that we have seen significant improvement in our student's math MAP data from fall to winter, and we are seeing growth in reading and language as well. All students had a very busy and fun Winter Field Day this week, celebrating their hard work and enjoying the snow.
We will soon be sending home information about a reading log challenge - the most important thing students can do to improve their reading skills is to practice at home! We'd like to increase the number of reading logs being turned in as we push toward the end of the year toward our learning goals.
Don't forget to join us at our family events next week in the morning, and as always, we welcome any suggestions, input or comments you have. Call or email anytime!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Everett
