On Tuesday and Friday of this week we invite the parents of our kindergarten, first and second graders to come see your child’s music performance during their music time. They’ve been working really hard to put together a performance that showcases what they’ve learned in music this year! Please see the schedules for April 11th and 14th below.  These programs will be recorded so you can see your child perform even if your work schedule will not allow you to attend the daytime performance in person.  The evening performances for our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students is on Friday, April 21st.  Please see below for additional information.

While you're in the building, be sure to check out the amazing art that lines the walls and hangs from the ceiling in our main hallways.  Mrs. Marcus is dedicated to helping our students find their inner artist by offering students voice and choice in the pieces they develop.  She also works so hard to ensure our students have the opportunity to showcase their work through local art shows at the library and Shadow Mountain Gallery, as well as at the district wide art show.  Thank you, Mrs. Marcus!

CMAS testing continues this week for our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders.  We finished ELA sections this past week and next up is math. Like the English Language Arts assessments they took last week, math is divided into three sections, with one section given per day.  This assessment is part of a body of evidence that demonstrates your child’s progress towards meeting the Colorado Academic Standards.   You can help your child feel prepared and do their best by ensuring they get a good night’s rest and eat a healthy breakfast in the morning.  

Each spring we engage in a very deliberate and thoughtful process to determine classroom placements for next year.  Classroom teachers, special education providers (if applicable), the specials (AMPs) team, paraprofessionals, and I consider each student individually, the dynamic of the classroom, and creating a balance of strengths and areas for growth across the classroom community.  Parents are a valuable source of information in this process.  If you would like to share information about your child’s strengths, areas for growth, and learning style, please fill out this form: Student Information 23-24.  Responses will be accepted until April 21st.
