The Lion's Share
December 2022
From the Principal . . .
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving to start off the holiday season. We have A LOT happening at Settler's Point between now and Winter Break and we don't want you to miss out.
Our teachers are dedicated and working hard to complete our Middle of the Year benchmark testing to be able to analyze the progress and growth that students have made thus far. Teachers will be looking at data and designing lessons with the best strategies to continue our forward progress with students. Thank you all for entrusting us with your children. We truly love working with them and watching them gain new skills each day.
Congratulations to our Run Club meet winners: Carson Fox, Kindergarten, 1st Place; Allison Neerings, 4th grade, 2nd Place; Kenzie Stevenson, 4th Grade, 1st Place.
Students will begin wearing ID badges when we return in January. You will receive a separate letter later this month explaing the process.
Check out the Events at the Pride section for all dates and events that will take place prior to winter break.
With many thanks,
Andrea Emerick
Principal
