February 2025

Hello Horace May Students and Families!

January went by like a flash!  We are busy Winter testing reading and math using Fastbridge.  Fastbridge data helps us drill down to where students are struggling so we can provide the interventions needed to help them understand!  It's a great tool but, our first year using it, so we are learning as we use it! 

In February we have our PTO meeting on the 20th at 5:30 in the library.  Our PTO is strong and really shows their support for our students and staff!  We have "Books and Bingo" on February 27, sponsored by our PTO.  

Conferences will be held in March on the 11th, 12th and 13th!  We are getting closer and closer to Spring with every day!  Take good care of yourselves - there is a lot of illnesses going around!  Kathy

Please take a look at our school goals for the year for reading, math and social emotional development.  We follow the district's strategic plan when making our goals.  

Thank you so much for your help and support.  We love your children and like you, want the very best for them.  As always, please contact me if you have questions or concerns. 

Thank you for sharing your children with us!
