Our students have so much to be proud of this year. As we complete the end of year assessments, we are excited to see the growth they have achieved. As we get closer to the end of the year, we impress upon our students that there is still more learning to do to prepare them for the next grade level.

One new way that we are working to prepare for the next school year is by organizing a "Level Up Day." On May 16th, students will go to the next grade level for the 2023-2024 school year for the day. This allows us the chance to have a test run of our proposed schedules and identify flaws or tweaks for improvement. Students will be able to practice routines and procedures, as well as begin building relationships with teachers and other classmates. Please note that class lists and teacher assignments will not be official or final until the start of the 23-24 school year. Summer challenge packet will be sent home for enrichment activities over the summer as well.

As we wrap up the school year, I would like to say a word of thanks to all our families for the support you provide your child(ren) everyday. The partnerships we, as a staff, have with you makes a huge impact on the overall success of our students. We are excited to end this year stronger than ever, and hope to see you as we celebrate the successes of our students this May!

Respectfully,

Mrs. Taylor

They did such an outstanding job! Thank you parents for sharing your students with us a little early each Monday morning so that we have the opportunity for experiences such as this. We are all so proud of our students for their hard work and dedication to choir this year.

We have made such improvements on our daily attendance this year, but are still falling shy of our goal of 97%. Our attendance rate is factored into our overall campus grade each year, and we still have time to increase our rate.

How can you help?

• Bring your child to school every day. Even though this is the last month of school, it is still important for your child to attend school each day.
• Monitor your child when he/she is not feeling well and keep them home if significant symptoms such as fever or vomiting.
• Schedule routine medical visits outside of school hours or during the summer.
• When returning to school from a medical appointment, send a doctor's note with your child.

Process for Reporting Absences: All parent notes regarding absences must be either handwritten or reported using Skyward Family Access. Visit this link for directions on how to report an absence through the Skyward Family Access app and through the web application. You can also use Skyward Family Access to report an early dismissal request. Truancy letters are automatically generated after 3 unexcused absences in a short period of time. Please make sure to send notes through Skyward Family Access to ensure your child's absences are excused.

If you know that your child will need to leave school early, please send a note with your child the morning of the early dismissal or submit a request through Skyward Family Access. Office staff will give your child an early dismissal pass to ensure students and teachers know what time he/she needs to report to the office so he/she is ready for pick-up. Any student waiting for more than 15 minutes will be sent back to the instructional setting until the parent arrives. Parents are required to come in and sign the child out before he/she will be allowed to leave the school. Any early dismissal requests after 2:30 may be delayed due to the start of the campus dismissal procedures.

If you have legal paperwork regarding your child's custody arrangement or regarding people who need to have restricted access to your child, please bring the original document with the judges signature to the office so we can make a copy to retain in your child's cumulative record. We follow all the legal requirements of court ordered documents, and are able to fully comply best when we have the records on file.

Moving into April and May, we will be reviewing all the ROAR values and focusing on celebrating students who exhibit these qualities during the school day. As our students are noticed for showcasing one of our core values consistently, teachers can nominate students for a special Core Value Connoisseur award. Be on the lookout for these to come home in the coming months!
