A Message From The Principal
As we move into October, our school year is taking shape as a true learning community. In our younger grades, I’ve been sharing Bucket Filler stories to help students see the power of kindness and how our actions build a positive classroom. In grades 3–5, I read Your Fantastic Elastic Brain to show students how their brains grow and stretch as they learn new things. Over the coming weeks, I’ll also be visiting classrooms to talk with students about their beginning-of-the-year iReady data. These conversations help each child understand where they are starting and what learning steps will help them grow throughout the year. Together, we are building a strong foundation for success and celebrating the fact that every brain is capable of learning and improving.
As we continue growing together, I encourage families to talk with their children about what they’re learning and to celebrate the effort it takes to grow their brains. Ask questions like, “What new skill are you working on?” or “How did you stretch your brain today?” These conversations help students see that learning is a journey, and that mistakes and challenges are all part of getting smarter. Thank you for partnering with us to build a school community where every child knows they can learn, grow, and shine.
We appreciate your continued support!
