Hello Darden Learning Community,
We have been fully engaged in building relationships and learning these past two weeks. Our students will be taking a Math and Reading Diagnostic Assessment using iReady this week. This test will provide us with valuable information on how to support your child in their learning process. Our students will be expected to participate in an online learning pathway using iReady 40 minutes in Math and Reading each week.
This year the Darden staff are committed to improve our students literacy skills, improve students self regulation skills and improve communication with parents regarding attendance!
Yours in Education,
Patty Karban

Thank you PTO for providing ALL our students with water bottles!
Darden Elementary School utilizes a school-wide positive behavioral intervention and support system (PBIS) to create communities that are consistently safe and respectful. As such, the students at Darden Primary Center are expected to follow five core values: “Do Your Best, Act Responsibly, Respect, Trust and Self Control.” The expectations are carried throughout the school (classrooms, hallways, recess, and transportation).
The Culture and Climate Committee has developed an acknowledgement system at Darden. Students earn a star by being “caught” following our core values. Adults throughout the building will be distributing these stars. Each month a random shining star will be selected and acknowledged during morning announcements and displayed on a bulletin board.
We are writing today to ask that you take part in our program. For PBIS to be effective, the staff and families of Darden must partner together to meet our mutual goal of academic and social growth of all students. As our students learn to self-manage their behavior at home and at school, it is vital for us to use common language when referring to expected behaviors. Please take time to discuss how your child can stay on target…. the Darden way by following our core values:
Do Your Best
Act Responsibly
Respect
Trust
Self-Control
