Florence Fox News
February 2023
Dear Florence Parents/Guardians:
As I write this, it is bitter cold outside. January has been an interesting month with the weather but we have made it through! Hopefully February will be warmer and spring will be just around the corner.
Please note that there is no school on February 3 or February 20. Our staff will be attending Curriculum day on the 3rd and we will be learning new things about our academic curriculum. We always look forward to trying out some new ideas.
Our K-5th grade students have completed the NWEA Map testing. We will go over your child's progress at parent teacher conferences in March. We will have a printed report for you to take home.
Stay warm!
Sincerely,
Jodie Lenser
Principal
No School!
