Our Valentines' Parties will be held on Monday 2/14. Unfortunately, we aren't able to invite parents at this time due to COVID restrictions. If you would like to donate treats or other items for parties, please reach out to your child's teacher. We appreciate your support of our school and look forward to the day when we can open up our parties for parent guests once again.
Thank you!

Dear Parents-
On Friday, 1/21 a copy of your child’s updated STAR report will be sent home with your child. STAR is a computerized test given in Math and Reading 3 times per year to track students’ progress and get an overall idea of their strengths as well as areas where they are in need of greater support. Although many of our students’ overall scores still fall in the below average range, we are proud of the growth that they have made and ask you to join us in praising their hard work in school. We will use these scores to continue to modify instruction for your student and to ensure that they have the needed supports to continue to have the opportunity to be successful in school. If you have any questions about the STAR report or anything else regarding your child’s progress, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or to my office. Thanks for all you do to partner with us as educators. We greatly appreciate your support!
Sincerely,
Joey Sagel
