Pacer Families,

March is officially here, and with it comes a flurry of activity, growth, and celebration! As the weather begins to shift, we are gearing up for a busy and productive month at school. 

The week of March 2nd – March 6th is Read Across America Week! We have a fun-filled week planned to celebrate the joy of reading and help our students discover new worlds through books. 

IREAD Testing: Our 2nd graders and 3rd graders (who did not previously pass) will be taking the IREAD assessment this month. These tests are vital for tracking foundational reading skills. Please ensure your students get plenty of rest and a good breakfast on testing days! 

Hard work is being recognized! Report cards will be sent home with students on Wednesday, March 18. This is a great time to sit down with your child and celebrate their progress this semester. As always, please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns. 

We are shaking things up! To foster creativity and community, we’re starting monthly Friday Clubs on the first Friday. These sessions will take place just before our House Huddle. Students have already selected their club choosing from a wide range of options—including gardening, spanish, sports, puzzles, and drawing and much more. We can't wait to see our students shine in these new spaces!

Kindergarten Registration is happening on Thursday, March 5th. If you have a little one ready to start their journey with us, or know a neighbor who does, appointments are still open! Please go to our school website to find the appointment link and information. 

We are beyond thrilled to announce that the Fun Run was a massive success! We want to extend a huge thank you to every student, parent, and community member who participated or donated. Because of your generosity, we are able to help fund:

We hope you have a wonderful month and a relaxing, well-deserved Spring Break!


Sincerely, 

Ashley Kitts, Principal
