News from the Principal
Our middle of the year reading and math assessments are almost complete. Our students have been tested on their reading comprehension and math skills over the last couple of weeks. They have taken the STAR 360 online assessment and our classroom teachers have been assessing students individually using DRA. Assessment results will be coming home shortly. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's reading progress, please do not hesitate to set up a conference with your child's teacher. The quickest way to improve your child's reading is to read daily!
Our PTO will be selling carnations February 12th through 14th. PTO will also have a meeting on February 12th, at 4:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.
February 18th will be a school holiday for the students. Our staff will be in training on that day. So mark your calendar and enjoy the day with your child.
On February 27th, Dr. John Gage and his staff will be here to talk to our students about dental hygiene and how to take good care of your teeth. Students will not want to miss this presentation. We all want to keep our teeth as long as we can so he will let us know the best ways to accomplish that.
The next Dollar Hat Day will be on February 22nd . Students may bring $1 and wear their hat in the building. Proceeds go towards attendance awards at the end of the year.
Speaking of attendance, please make sure your child arrives to school before 7:50 a.m. Class begins at 7:50 a.m. and students need to be seated and ready to learn. We want your child to have every opportunity to have a great start to his/her day.
We will be having a Family STEAM Night on Tuesday, February 19th. We will open the doors at 5:30 and the event will end at 6:30 p.m. We hope to have some interesting activities for our students to watch and participate in.
