Apple Glen Families-

I hope you and your family have had a great break filled with lots of joyous moments. Apple Glen teachers enjoyed their break and spent their day today preparing for the upcoming semester. As I reflect on the first semester, I am proud of the hard work  and progress our students have made. 

Just before break we had a school wide reading challenge. It went GREAT! We really saw an uptick in students reading. This month we are going to have an opportunity for students to "Chill out and Read!" Students can earn a coupon for a free ice cream from Braums. We want to continue to reinforce the importance of students reading consistently. We know this has a huge impact on a student's reading ability. 

This month our students will take a state assessment called the Atlas Interim assessment. This test helps us to gauge the progress our students have made towards state standards we have already taught as well as their level of understanding on standards we have not taught yet. Every grade level will take this test. Please look for more information from your child's teacher regarding when the test will be given. 

Teachers will be emailing student report cards by next Tuesday, Jan. 13. Please reach out to them directly if you have any questions. 

Thanks, 

Tracey Wood
