Hello Stallions!
Welcome Back from an extra long Fall Break! I hope you were able to enjoy some family time. It was nice to have Monday off as well. Teachers and staff return to work on Tuesday, and students return on Wednesday! Over the break, there was work done around the Ranch. Some much-needed repairs were made to the floor in a few areas, and a brand new door was installed for our Kindercamp/Building Blocks program. This access will make drop off and pick up much easier for our youngest Stallions!
The Arizona Department of Education released the school letter grades for 2017 while we were on break. Sonoma Ranch earned a grade of B, which is based primarily on AZMerit performance from last Spring. I am proud of the hard-working students, faculty, and staff at Sonoma Ranch. This letter grade is only one way to measure the success of a school, but this is a solid accomplishment for our students and staff. If you would like more information about how school grades are determined, or if you’d like to talk about our grade, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
It is Parent/Teacher conferences time! The teachers may have already contacted you about setting up specific conferences, and certainly, don’t hesitate to contact them directly with any questions or concerns. In order to make scheduling conferences as easy as possible, we will again be utilizing Signup.com. If you go to https://signup.com/Group/687003849145428056/ you will be able to select your student’s teacher(s) and then pick a day/time for the conference. It is a pretty easy process, but if you run into any trouble, please contact us for assistance.
This week our schedule is a little different than normal. Students return to the Ranch on Wednesday, which is a full day of school. Students will dismiss at 3:30 PM on Wednesday.
The Week Ahead:
And Beyond...
Have a great week!
Be Safe,
Principal
