Dear Summerside Eagle Families,
Happy New Year! We kicked off the new year with smiles and hugs as students and staff were happy to be back together again at Summerside after our extended holiday break! Many classrooms took time to reflect on the first part of the school year, conferencing with students and reviewing student learning progress with them to help set goals and resolutions for themselves as learners and leaders in our building. Be sure to ask your child about their goals for the remainder of the school year. What do they need to focus their learning on to be independent readers, mathematicians, scientists, etc.? What steps do they need to take now to set the foundation for our Portrait of a Graduate and the life they want to have one day? Even our kindergartners can answer these questions and understand the steps they need to take with learning their letters and sounds and numbers so they will one day be successful in whatever path they choose. We look forward to continuing our partnership to ensure our students are learning, leading, and succeeding. Here's to an exciting 2023 together!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Courtney & Ms. Lowe
