From the Principal's Desk
Fall is also the time we have lots of school events on the horizon. McTeacher Night is upon us, first quarter will end October 22nd, Drive-Thru Trunk or Treat is coming, and we will be hosting Parent/Teacher Conferences before we know it.
Please keep a close eye on the Paw Packets over the next few weeks to stay up-to-date with all of these events!
Thank you for sharing your students with us each day,

StuCo Sucker Sales!
We would love to see you there!
The suckers will also be sold at school from October 18-22. More information will come out next week!
2020-2021 MAP Reports Coming Home Wednesday
MAP Reports are coming home!
Last Spring's scores will be coming home this Wednesday, 10/13.
- Families in Grades 4 and 5, you will receive two reports: Math and English Language Arts.
- Families in Grade 6, you will receive three reports: Math, English Language Arts, and Science.
Reading Your Report: At the top of the report, you will see a sliding horizontal bar, showing Performance Levels from Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. Your student's score will be encased in a box above this horizontal bar, and you will also see it listed in bold below the bar.
Be sure to also look at the cut scores, listed above the bar, which show the ranges for each Performance Level band.
At the bottom of your report, you will see the subtests by category. In this larger horizontal graph, you can identify the areas of strength and the areas of improvement for your child.
Low 70s + Sunny Weather = Perfect Race for the Future!

Parent/Teacher conferences will be held on November 3-4, from 8:00 a.m. - 7:40 p.m. Similar to previous years, you will select your conference time through E-Scheduler, which you will access through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. E-Scheduler will be open from October 18th - October 29th, closing at Midnight on the 29th. Times will fill up fast! Be sure to check your PowerSchool login credentials before the 18th!
NEW THIS YEAR: You will have the option to choose between an In-Person conference or a Virtual conference. As a reminder, if you choose a virtual conference, you must have a Google account to participate. If you already have a Gmail address, there is nothing more you will need to do.
