November 2025
As we step into another exciting month, we want to thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we’re creating a nurturing environment where students can learn and grow. We’ve successfully wrapped up the first quarter, and it was wonderful to see so many families during parent-teacher conferences engaging in meaningful conversations about student progress. Students in grades 3–5 now have access to the parental portal, where you can view your child’s individual student report for ILEARN Checkpoints. If you have any questions or need assistance accessing your child’s information, please don’t hesitate to contact the office or your child’s teacher. November is shaping up to be a busy month filled with exciting events and activities, so be sure to review the important dates and details below!
