Please join me in congratulating the following students for showing growth on their STAR Reading assessment and/or Momentum Math assessment. We are proud of their effort, perseverance, and commitment to learning!

While we know it’s always fun to pass out candy, please note that students will not be collecting candy during the parade. The purpose of the event is simply to show off their costumes and enjoy the festive spirit.
We encourage everyone to join in the fun by coming out to watch the parade and wave to our students, they’ll love seeing familiar faces and feeling the community’s support!
Thank you for helping make this a fun and safe event for our students.
Principal Rhodes
Our students had a fantastic time celebrating their hard work and positive efforts during Quarter 1!
On Tuesday, October 21st, students who met their reading goals attended our Quarter 1 Reading Goal Party. Each quarter, students complete a reading log and read at home a minimum of 10 times. To celebrate their accomplishments, everyone enjoyed a glow stick dance party, it was a bright and joyful way to recognize their dedication to reading!
Then, on Wednesday, October 22nd, we held our Quarter 1 PBS Behavior Party, where students participated in a variety of fun fall games as a reward for demonstrating positive behavior throughout the quarter. While we didn’t capture photos of this event, it was a wonderful day filled with laughter and teamwork.
A big thank you to all of our students for their hard work and to our parents and families for their continued support. We’re proud of all the positive choices and achievements our students have made, and we’re excited to see what Quarter 2 will bring!
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend Parent-Teacher Conferences at the elementary school! We had an impressive 80% attendance rate, and we know that many of those who were unable to attend have already scheduled another time to meet.
Conferences are such an important opportunity for teachers and parents to work together in support of our students. We truly appreciate your partnership and your commitment to your child’s education.
Thank you for prioritizing learning and for continuing to work alongside us to help every student grow and succeed!
