#Safety

MTSS/PBIS expectations are put in place to establish a positive climate and stablish consistent behavorial guidelines which allows your child to learn in a safe, secure environment. On Monday, we will review schoolwide expectations with students throughout the school day. Please speak with your child about the importance of following our schoolwide expectations.

#Growth

In the coming days, K-3rd grade students will be taking the MOY (middle of year) DIBELS assessment. This assessment will measure your child's growth from the BOY (beginning of the year). Be on the lookout for your child's report that will be sent home before winter break which will explain their growth.

#Opportunity

Extended Learning fall session ended on November 21. We would like to thank all parents of invited students for ensuring their participation. The extension of learning helps to close learning gaps which further prepares them to work on grade level.

Our academic team will be reviewing student data over the next few weeks to determine eligibility for spring session attendance. If your child meets the criteria, please complete the form and return to school before December 20.
