Falcon Flyer for Families!

Falcon Family,

It's hard to believe that January is wrapping up this week and we are entering February! How fast this year has flown by! Thank you to those who came out to support our Academic Night! We will have one more that we will host in the next few months, and parents will be able to meet teachers in the next grade level! We appreciate your support and partnering together for the success of our children.

This week, we have Winter MAP testing on Tuesday and Thursday. Please make sure that your student is in attendance, they eat breakfast, and that they take the test seriously. MAP measures student progress of learning, and teachers/schools/districts utilize the data to assess whether or not instructional strategies are effective.

Progress Reports will be mid-February for Quarter 3. We encourage your student to attend tutoring, if needed! Also, in order to access progress reports this quarter and in the future, all parents will need to make sure to have a Parent Portal account through PowerSchool. Please see information in the newsletter below to learn how to sign up today.

Have a great week!

Dr. Jacqueline Persinski
