Dear Parents and Guardians:
Thanksgiving is around the corner and then just a few more weeks till Christmas vacation. The year is flying by so quickly. I have been so happy with the students’ progress this year. Growth on the benchmarking assessments has been exciting so far especially since the new assessment is so much more complex. Our school attendance has been fabulous with close to 100 students having perfect attendance for the first quarter with not even one tardy. Our overall attendance rate is 97% for the year. I just want to encourage you to continue your hard work in encouraging great school attendance and academic effort.
Our last big event for the grades kindergarten- second grade was a huge success with over 140 people in attendance. The students were able to read books with family members, participate in a craft and have a picture taken too. The Title I reading teachers did a great job putting together the event and the participants all seemed to enjoy it. Glittery and Sparkles enjoyed seeing how well the students knew their sight words and how fast each student could ride a stick horse. It was a great evening, so if you missed it this time, plan to come next year.
