A Note from the Principal
I want to send a thank you out to our our parents and guardians. We appreciate what you are doing at home to encourage and support your children in their learning. Our students are coming to school each day eager to learn and it shows by improvements in their academic achievement.
We have looked at each student's middle of the year assessment information and we are implementing tutoring and intervention plans to help every student get to where they need to be. It's going to be a great spring semester!!
We can't wait to get February started! As you can see by the calendar below, February will be a full month of activities and learning.
You can continue to help support your child at home by having them read daily and checking their folder for any other practice assignments and/or information that is being sent home.
If your child is in virtual learning and you are ready for them to return to in-person to help them get used to being back on campus before the year ends, we would love to see them. They have been away for almost a year now. We miss seeing their smiling faces.
Please do not hesitate to contact me, Mrs. Alexander, Mrs. Barber, or Ms. Bautista if you have any questions or suggestions.
Love, Mrs. Bitters
