What's Happening This Month:
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are on the final stretch into the fourth quarter, and have a lot to proud of as we look back over this year at the progress and accomplishments students have made!
Our Title I sponsored Family Fun Night on April 25 was a big success, and it was great to see all the families enjoying the activities! Thank you to everyone who helped plan and prepare for this event, and who helped with activities, games, and face painting!
Our third graders have been finishing their MCA assessments, and during the first two weeks of May, our PK-3 students will be completing their grade level spring FAST assessments in reading and math. These assessments give us valuable insights into a student's progress in reading and math, so we can adapt our instructional strategies to best support them. Results from the FAST assessments will be sent home along with fourth quarter report cards on the last day of school, May 30. We are happy to share your student's individual data and progress with you at anytime throughout the year upon your request.
Along with completing our spring academic assessments, we will also have a few end of year field trips, and fun events for the students. As part of our PBIS school-wide expectations, students are reminded that these special events are a privilege and it important to continue to demonstrate their Husky Pride by being Respectful, Responsible, Positive, and Safe not only in the classroom, but throughout the school and other school-sponsored events. Please help us in reminding students to continue to show their Husky Pride so they can enjoy these special events. Thank you as always for your support and partnership!
GO HUSKIES!
