Thank you!

Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and time off. This week, teachers and staff reviewed PBIS expectations and daily procedures with students to help keep our school running smoothly.

Next week, we will begin NWEA and Acadience (DIBELS) assessments. Our winter data is critical as it directly drives instruction, helping to strengthen teaching and learning. It prepares students for mastering grade-level standards and getting ready for success on the M-STEP. Look for communication from your child’s teacher about specific dates and ensure your child is well-rested and has a healthy breakfast.

Our doors open at 8:40 AM, and school begins promptly at 8:55 AM with students settled in their classrooms. Each day, up to 10% of our student body arrives late, causing disruptions and missing important instruction and routines. Your support in ensuring your child arrives on time is crucial for creating a smooth and productive start to the day. Thank you for helping us set your child up for success!

On Wednesday, we practiced a lockdown drill, and I’m pleased to share that all staff and students responded quickly, and quietly, and followed all protocols in place. These practice drills help ensure everyone knows how to stay safe.

Winter is here.  Please be sure that your child has appropriate clothing for the wintertime. Students will be going outside when the windchill is 0 degrees or higher. We only stay inside if the temperature is below 0 degrees with the windchill.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

What is a makerspace ? It is a place where students can build, create, innovate, and explore with tools and STEM based activities.  The goal is to be able to provide this learning experience to ALL of our students.Any questions please reach out to Brooke Ward.
