Principal's Office
Here is our Roadrunner Weekly for the week of February 24th through February 28th. This week is "Read Across America Week" where we celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday and promote the love of reading! We have lots of events going on this week, capped off by our Family Reading Night on Thursday, February 27th from 5:30-7:30. More details can be found below!
Our Love & Logic parenting series began on Monday, February 10th in the library, and we still have a few spaces left. Childcare is available as well. See the information below for more details.
Mark your calendars! Our students are in full practice mode for our Starstruck Showcase performance that will take place the evening of Thursday, March 5th at the Lincoln Community Center. The classes are split into two shows at 6:00 & 7:00 PM, so please open the informational attachment below to see when your kids perform.
As a weekly reminder, i-Ready is an important skill builder that our kids can access at school and at home. Our teachers try to build in time during the school day for some practice, but we also encourage your child to continue using it at home also as the program recommends a minimum of 45 minutes per subject, per week to help build math and ELA skills.
Lastly, please check out our staff websites to keep current on homework and class events.
Have a great week!
