A MESSAGE FROM
Principal Santos
As the days get longer and the weather begins to warm up I can't help but remember everything I love about spring! I hope this season brings you and your family a new chapter of growth and a renewed sense of hope.
Our students and staff are continuing to work hard to achieve their goals and make the most of their learning experiences. I'm proud of their accomplishments and the progress they've made, and I'm grateful for your ongoing support.
As we move into this new season, I encourage you to take some time to enjoy some time outdoors and talk about what you observe. Where do you notice signs of new beginnings? How does nature renew itself each year?
As we close out Women's History Month, I look forward to seeing our PK-2nd Grade Scholar at their Showcase. Our 2nd grade Trailblazers are featuring a special living museum showcasing amazing fierce females who have inspired them and they can't wait to celebrate!
LET'S MAKE THIS AN AWESOME WEEK!
We had so much fun at our first Parent Workshop Series! Join us for the next one, This Friday for a morning of collaboration and reflection!
UPCOMING ASSESSMENTS - The remainder of the practice assessments listed below in the upcoming assessments box serve two purposes:
1.) Providing us with an opportunity to gather data on systems, operations and procedures to ensure every student is provided with the best possible experience.
2.) Providing us with information on what content needs to be prioritized as we enter the last days before assessments take place. Teachers will take the data to tweak their own plans and discuss best practices with their peers.
