News You Can Use for May 11, 2023
A Message from our Interim Principal...
Larson Families,
As the 2022-2023 school year ends, I want to thank each of you for the support during the past few months. Although it has been challenging, our staff and students have persevered and thrived both academically and socially. That would not have been possible without amazing families that care deeply about their kids. Thank you for your encouragement, your positive influence, and sharing your children.
In the meantime, during the summer months, you can help your children maintain their academics by practicing math and reading (reading to them and/or having them read to you). Students have access to their learning path for both math and reading through the online platform of I-ready, as well as math facts through Rocket Math. All of these programs can be accessed through the school district website for students.
We look forward to the next school year with anticipation as Mr. Matthew LaHue will lead us to greater things. Our goal at Larson is to support students and families to achieve their goals.
Finally, stay safe, enjoy your family time and we will see you next year.
Polly Rowell
