PRINCIPAL’S CORNER

WORKING TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS FOR 2022/2023

We are approaching the end of the 2022-2023 school year and still have many exciting activities planned for the last few weeks!

Activities for all students include a chance to participate in the onsite SkyDome Planetarium and the STEAM Museum at the end of the month. Also, we will have one more PBIS Celebration, a Field Day, and an Awards Celebration to close out the year.

During the week of May 8th, we will complete the final NWEA MAP (Measures of Academic Progress)

Assessment in Reading and Mathematics. Please remind your students to get plenty of rest, do their best, and not speed through the questions.

In addition, remind your child of the importance of keeping their feet and hands to themselves and their words to each other kindly and respectfully. We are working very hard on this as a team. Teasing and playing can quickly turn into hurt feelings and retaliation.

Students’ energy should be channeled into positive educational experiences for all. Teaching students to be responsible for their behavior is challenging at this age, and we continue to work with every student in building their social skills and confidence in themselves.

Again, we value your support and partnership in ensuring that all of our children receive high-quality education and various opportunities to learn and grow.

Attendance/Absences/Tardies

To ensure that our students excel academically, they must attend school daily and be on time. When students are tardy, they miss valuable instruction, primarily in reading and language arts. Attendance will be tied into our school’s PBIS expectations in which students will be able to earn rewards and participate in fun activities.

When your child has to be absent, please inform the front office. Our absentee number is 708-758-5350.
