Dear Families,
Happy 2023 to you all! I hope you all enjoyed a restful winter break and were able to spend much quality time with your family. It has been a pleasure to be back at school this week and hear all of the great stories from students about their winter holidays. We have jumped back into our learning this week and are planning a series of assessments in the coming weeks. As you may know, we have integrated a period called “What I Need” time during our school schedule this year and this is designed for students to work on skills in Math and Literacy based on their specific needs. In the next few weeks our students will be taking assessments in Math and Literacy to measure the growth they are making and to identify areas where they need particular support. We look forward to sharing these results with you and working with you as partners in helping each our students be successful. I hope you all have a great weekend!
Dr. Melvin
