Letter From The Principal
Fire Lake Families,
Well we have reached the end of the 22/23 school year and we have a busy last week and a half of the school year. This week we will have an awards assembly, a drama club presentation and Field Day. Next week we will be having our 5th grade promotion and our last day of school celebration on the blacktop. We hope to see a lot of parents and families at all these awesome events. During the summer I encourage our students and families to continue reading regularly as reading skills can wane without practice. Students should also have access to the iReady reading and math programs.
There are some changes on the horizon for the 23/24 school year. The most notable change will be the late start on Mondays. On Mondays school will start at 10:00 AM instead of 9:00 AM. School will start at 9:00 the other 4 days of the week. We will also be using a new reading curriculum in grades kindergarten through 3rd grade. The name of the new curriculum is Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA). The following year the 4th and 5th grades will also be implementing the new CKLA curriculum.
Lastly, I want to say thank you to all our families for helping make the 22/23 school year a success. For those of you who will be leaving Fire Lake we wish you and your family well and for those of you returning in the fall we will see you in August.
As always if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out to Principal Salazar at salazar_daniel@asdk12.org or 907 742 3355.
Thanks,
Daniel Salazar
Principal
