PRINCIPAL’S CORNER

We have made it to the second semester, and the staff continually works hard to deliver challenging learning opportunities to your children. During March, we will be taking the state assessment Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR). More information will be sent to students in our 3rd and 4th grades taking the assessment.

It’s still Winter, and we’ve been inside for a while. That can make us a bit squirmy with cabin fever. Please go over our school expectations with your child, as we will do the same here. We must continue to have a calm and orderly culture as it impacts on our student learning. Remember, Longwood’s PBIS Expectations say that we Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible.
