April Newsletter Edition
Update from Principal Shaughnessy
I can't believe how quickly this school year is progressing. Before we know it, it will be Spring assessment season, 5th grade camp, and all of our fun end of the year activities!
This month, we are focused on gathering community input for our school Mission, Vision, and Value statements. These statements are critical to our ability to develop a 5 year strategic plan.
Below, in this newsletter, you will see a link to an online tool that we are using to collect feedback. This, along with Panorama results, will help us hear from as many voices as possible as we are defining who we are and who we want to be as a school community.
Thank you for taking the time this month to provide your feedback. If surveys don't work for you and you would rather talk to someone on the phone or in person, please don't hesitate to reach out. We will also be reaching out to ensure we are hearing from everyone!
I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of this fabulous school community and hope to be here for many years to come!
STAR Night coming!
South Sound Reading Foundation will be on hand with book give aways. Timberland Regional Library will be here to help with library access. We will have books, activities, and guest readers on hand to help keep the kids engaged.
Dinner is available, free of cost, for everyone that attends.

Your feedback is really important. Thank you for taking the time.
