"It's Not Luck, It's Hard Work!"

Principal's Message

Our reading and math assessments will take place this week. These assessments help us understand each student’s progress and areas where they may need additional support. To help your child, here are a few helpful tips that you can do at home to support their learning:

For Reading:
  1. Read together daily: Encourage your child to read aloud to you for at least 15 minutes each day. This improves fluency and comprehension.
  2. Ask questions: After reading a story, ask your child questions about the main idea, characters, and events. This helps build comprehension and critical thinking.
  3. Expand vocabulary: When encountering new words, take the time to discuss their meanings and how they are used in sentences.
  4. Read, read read!
For Math:
  1. Practice basic math facts: Review addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division facts based on your child’s grade level. Flashcards can be a fun and easy way to practice.
  2. Incorporate math into daily activities: When cooking, ask your child to help measure ingredients, or when shopping, talk about prices and make comparisons.
  3. Encourage problem-solving: Have your child explain how they solve math problems, which helps them build stronger reasoning skills.

Thank you for your continued support in helping your child succeed! We are excited to see their growth through these assessments, and we appreciate all that you do at home.

With appreciation,
Julia Bradley, Principal

SECURE Drill - Wed. Jan. 14th

A Secure Drill is used when there is a potential hazard or safety concern outside the building, such as nearby police activity. During this drill, we bring everyone indoors and lock all exterior doors to secure the perimeter. Unlike an evacuation, school continues as usual inside, but no one is allowed to enter or exit the building until the situation is cleared. These practices help our students and staff build the "muscle memory" needed to stay calm and safe during an actual event. For more information, visit the ILOVEYOUGUYS website.

NO School - Martin Luther King Jr. Day - Mon. Jan 19th

This federal holiday provides an opportunity for students and families to honor Dr. King’s legacy of service and his vision for equality. We encourage our school community to use this time to reflect on his teachings of peace and justice or to participate in local service projects to help improve our community. Classes will resume on Tuesday, January 20.
 

Parent - Teacher Conferences - Mon. Jan. 26th

Please note that there will be no school on on this day. These conferences are scheduled on an as-needed basis. If your child's teacher requires a meeting, they will reach out to you directly to schedule a time. However, if you do not receive a request but would still like to discuss your child’s progress, you are more than welcome to contact the teacher to request a meeting.
 

Shamrock Showcase - Fri. Jan. 30th 8:15 am for Self Awareness

We are excited to host our upcoming assembly to celebrate students nominated for being Country Kind, Country Strong, or for exhibiting our Monthly Character Trait! Parents of recipients will be notified in advance if their child is being honored. In addition to their award, recipients will enjoy Lucky Lunch in the office with Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Augsburger the following Friday!
 

3rd Grade Science Fair - Fri. Jan. 30th 9:00 - 10:00 Library

Calling all 3rd-grade families! We are so excited to invite you to join us in the library for our upcoming 3rd Grade Science Fair. Our young scientists have been working hard to bring their wildest ideas to life, and they can’t wait to show off their amazing inventions! Come wander through the library, meet our junior inventors, and see exactly what makes our 3rd graders so spectacular!
 

Late Start Wednesday - Feb. 4th

School will start two hours later than usual so our staff can spend the morning sharpening their skills. We are committed to continuous growth, and this time allows our team to dive into new strategies to better support and meet the unique needs of every student.
 

School Spirit - Time Travel Day on Fri. Feb. 6th

Get ready to turn back the clock! It’s time to dust off those vintage vibes and show off your favorite era. Whether you want to rock the poodle skirts of the 1950s, the neon leggings of the 1980s, or even the groovy tie-dye of the 70s, we want to see your best "blast from the past" style!

From retro cool to futuristic fun, dress up in your favorite decade’s attire and help us journey through the ages. Let’s see how many eras we can visit in one day!
