Dear Families,
Spring assessments are just around the corner! We need your help in preparing your child to shine and show us their learning for this entire year. What can you do? Have them get plenty of quality sleep this month, eat some veggies for brain food, be at school every day and on time! We are so hopeful that we can keep our students in the classroom and not have to virtually test this spring. So please help us keep all student safe by continuing to follow the guidelines for COVID as well. If your child is quarantined we will have some make up days to test, so please don't send them to school sick.
We have surveyed a sample of our students recently to help us prepare our continuous school improvement planning and the results are encouraging.
Here are some of the results:
94.5% of our students feel teachers are respectful to them.
91.2% Students feel that their principal cares about them.
87.4% of our students felt that they were taught how to be responsible in school.
83% of our students feel safe in the classroom.
The two areas we are going to work together to improve are:
Only 47.6% of our Students felt that classmates are respectful to their teacher.
Only 59.1% of students feel safe outside of the classroom.
We are working hard to provide an exciting end of the year surprise for our students, so stay tuned for more information.
May 3-7 is Teacher Appreciation Week
Teachers are truly a gift to be celebrated daily, but they will take a special week. Our staff have journeyed uncharted territory for the last 380 days. We can't be more proud of the connections they have made and the learning that has been established. They have learned and taught new skills and someday when they write books, they will see the greatness of the community of support we have had throughout! :)
I encourage you to write a message to your child's teacher this year, maybe one to the teacher from last year and maybe one to another person who is teaching your son or daughter. It is great to hear kind words, but to have them written is priceless, especially this year when the work loads have quadrupled for all of us. See our website for names and emails :)
Thanks so much for all you do, please feel free to reach out to me with any wishes, concerns, questions!
Mrs. Tiffany Jackson, Principal
