MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
February is a month to practice thoughtfulness.
Spring Conferences will be on March 7th and 8th. I encourage all families to make the time to attend. Teachers will have so much information to share about learning, academics and behavior. It is also a good time to ask questions! Your presence shows your child that you care about their education and think it is important. We can't be as successful at school without your support at home.
More conference information will come home soon. We will be using an online conference sign up form like we did in the fall.
Lastly, we will end the month with a Sato School-Wide Spirit Day to coincide with Read Across America on March 2nd. Students may dress as their favorite book character on March 2nd.
All my best,
Principal Hagseth

Report Cards Going Home February 9th
Beginning with this current school year, elementary schools moved from a trimester progress reporting calendar to a semester reporting calendar. This is consistent with middle schools and high schools. All levels will report student progress to parents four times per year. For elementary schools, this will be during spring and fall conferences and at the end of each semester (February and June). Secondary schools will report in November, February, April and June. Students will carry report cards home on Feb 9th. If you selected an electronic report card, it will become visible in ParentVue after 4:00 on Friday, the 9th.
Please see below for how proficiency is rated.
