Mission Elementary
Riding the Wave of Excellence!
November 27, 2022
We hope you've had a great week and that students are ready to come back to school tomorrow, Monday, November 28! Can you believe it? In three weeks, students will have completed a whole semester this year. We are very proud of our students, their efforts, and the support of our families as our collaboration is key to student success.
In the next three weeks, teachers will be assessing students in all areas including administering iReady reading and math assessments to students K-5. Please encourage students to try their best and to work carefully as they demonstrate their learning. Our State Preschool teachers will hold parent-teacher conferences starting December 5 so if you have a preschool student, be sure to communicate with their teacher to set up a time for the conference.
As winter approaches and the weather is cooler, it is important that students wear warmer clothes. Thank you for your help in ensuring students wear warm clothes and for reminding students to make sure they bring their jackets back home. We place the forgotten jackets in the lost and found and after a few weeks if they are not picked up we donate any jackets left behind. Please stop by the lost and found rack usually located at the front of the school.
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
