North Star Note
Parent Edition - March 23rd, 2025
Welcome Back
It is with great hope that you had an outstanding spring break, whether you traveled outside St. Louis or stayed local like me. Something that I have said time and time again is that our families do an outstanding job showing up and supporting our school. Our PTO Skate Night was more proof of that as we had over 240 skating and dancing! It was truly such a fun event. Speaking of fun events, our next PTO event is our Trivia Night on Saturday, April 5th. This is PTO's largest fundraiser. Therefore, your participation is needed. So... grab a neighbor and/or friend and let's build commUNITY on April 5th. See the attached flyer below for additional details. Have a wonderful week!

Supporting our students’ well-being
We will administer social-emotional surveys to students in grades 3-5 and staff as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting student success. These surveys gather valuable student feedback on school safety, sense of belonging, relationships, and more.
Students will take the surveys between March 31 - April 11. They take about 15 minutes and are the same as those administered earlier this winter. They will allow us to identify areas of growth.
