It is hard to beleive that October is just around the corner! This month we have plenty of family engagement opportunities so be sure to check out this newsetter and your clasroom newsletter. Mark your calendars for Parent Teacher Conferences on October 24th and 25th. Sign-ups will be coming out soon.

Today your child's DIBELs and STAR Assessment Reports will be coming home in their Friday folders. Please keep in mind, this assessment is only ONE measure of your student as a learner. Your child's teacher will help to round out their learner profile during conferences.

If you missed the parent information session on Assessment, please find the recording below and click the link to watch.

This year, we've adopted the SKIER acronym as a way to frame our essential agreements school wide. We hope that you will reinforce these positive attributes with your child at home.
