A Note from Your Principals A Note from Your Principals

As we shared last week, our teachers have been busy assessing students growth and performance in order to support our students and differentiate instruction.


We recently administered the iReady assessment, which provides valuable insights into each child's learning progress in both mathematics and english-language arts.


In the coming weeks, you will receive a report, via email, detailing your child's performance, which will serve as a snapshot in time of their current skills and areas for growth. We encourage you to take the opportunity to discuss these results further during March conferences, where we can collaborate to enhance your child's educational experience.


Additionally, please take a moment to watch the brief informational video about the iReady assessment, which can help you better understand the assessment process and its importance.


Thank you for your continued support in your child's education!

Girls on the Run and Eli Terry are teaming up for a season of life-changing fun. The power to transform tomorrow is already within your girl today. It’s just a matter of unleashing her inner spark. Through #GOTR’s evidence-based curriculum, girls discover skills that strengthen their mental, physical and emotional health.


Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development, including managing emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy. At the end of the season, the team completes a Community Impact Project and a 5K together, which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confident mindset into motion.

5th graders visited the Old State House, held a mock legislative session, and an election!

Kindergartners started their unit on subtraction by telling their own stories to a partner stating how many frogs were on the log and how many jumped off. Then they had to figure out how many frogs were left on the log!
