Good News Report

Our October Family Night was a success, drawing 176 students and their families for an engaging evening of fun and connection! The first round of Pearson testing for all grades has been completed. Fourth-grade students are thrilled to observe the transformation of their jack-o'-lantern. Placed in soil to decompose, "Pumpkin Jack," as the students affectionately call him, has now sprouted little pumpkin "babies." The class is eagerly watching his daily changes, captivated by the natural process unfolding before their eyes. Students throughout the building enjoyed the Halloween celebrations last month and older grades included a lesson on cultural celebrations including the Mexican holiday, Day of the Dead. Both Kindergarten classes and one First grade class met their unit Math goals.

KSA results have been released and we are first in the district!! We also scored higher than the state average in 5 out of 7 areas!

Parents and guardians have loved getting the phone call when their child has received the positive office referral. Fourth grade students were excited to witness the life cycle of a butterfly from the chrysalis to the butterfly. After watching the transformation, students released the butterflies wishing them safe travels on their migration. Our September Family Night was a success, drawing 35 students and their families for an engaging evening of fun and connection! The first round of MTSS for all grades is completed.
