Principal's Corner

Welcome back from what I hope was a wonderful winter break. I hope you were able to enjoy time with family and were able to rest and recharge for the new year ahead. We were certainly excited to welcome students back to school today.

We are hitting the ground running as we return from break and near the half way point in our school year. Winter NWEA testing begins next week starting with the reading test followed by the math test the week of January 17. We are also almost to the halfway point of 2nd trimester. Progress reports will be posted at the end of the day on January 14th.

We are excited for an awesome second half of the school year with many fun activities and of course a lot of new learning. Please continue to reach out to your child's teacher or the office with any questions or concerns.

Your partner in education,

Robyn Robinson

Principal

NWEA Winter Testing

Winter NWEA testing is coming up. Classes will be taking the reading NWEA test the week of January 10th and the math NWEA test the week of January 17th. Your child's teacher will be in touch about the exact day they are testing. Please be sure that your child gets a good nights sleep the night before and eats breakfast that morning so they are ready to do their best. We are excited to see how much the students have learned and grown since the start of the school year.
