Principal's Message
As we bloom into May, we're excited to embrace the warmer weather and the exciting activities it brings to our school community! During the first week of May, we celebrate our wonderful teachers and staff! A big thank you to all our educators for their dedication and hard work throughout the year. Your impact extends far beyond the classroom and positively impacts students!
This month we will continue with State tests, specifically the CAASPP, for students in 3rd-5th grades. These State assessments are for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science (5th grade only). Please remind students to go to bed early so that they can be rested the following day and also provide them with a healthy mea. A letter went home for all students that are taking the CAASPP assessment that offers more information.
We will be celebrating students that were reclassified Recent Fluent English Proficient (RFEP) on May 29th. These students will have a celebration, earn a medal, and have their names posted in a banner in our cafeteria to memorialize them for many years to come. This is a wonderful experience for students who have met the reclassification criteria. Parents of students who will be celebrated will receive an invite a week before the celebration.
We also have many field trips and fun activities planned for May which offer our students a positive and meaningful experience at Winter Gardens Elementary, including a spring multicultural performance for students and parents. Stay tuned for more updates on end-of-year celebrations and activities. Let's end the school year on a high note together!
Thank you for your continued support and engagement.
In Partnership,
Dr. Cortez, Principal
