Talkeetna Elementary families,
We are proud of our school-wide student agency, our students have voice and choice over their learning, they are goal-setting, and they are growing. Nearly all of our classrooms met and/or exceeded their projected growth in reading and math. We have excellent teachers and hard-working students. Families, thank you for your commitment to your children's education.
Our final Title 1 event was themed around literacy. Research shows that family involvement is the number 1 predictor of early literacy success and later academic success. I encourage you to continue reading to and with your child/ren each and every day. It is a small routine that makes a big difference.
What a year... while it has been the most challenging year of our careers, I am so grateful to have gone through it with this TKE team and this community. Thank you for your flexibility and support through it all. Have a wonderful summer and enjoy the time with your family!
In partnership,
Becky Moren
