Our grades 2-5 students will be taking the Northwest Educational Assessment (NWEA). This is an assessment classroom teachers use for instructional purposes and for viewing student progress. This round of testing includes the reading and the math sections of the assessment for grades 2-5. Students will be able to monitor the progress of their goals they set in October and adjust as necessary. You will receive a parent report in the spring with detailed information, but feel free to talk to your child's classroom teacher if you have any questions about it in the mean time.
We have experienced some crazy weather this school year. Please be sure to send your child in layers to school. We try to get out each day, even if it is for an abbreviated amount of time. Don't forget that if there is a delayed opening, there is no a.m. Kindergarten or DEEP session.
Just a reminder that it is very important to send in a letter notifying your child's teacher of any change in the dismissal procedure. We have been getting many last minute calls in the office and our fear is that we won't get the messages to your children and their teacher before they hop on a bus or walk home. Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.
On January 10, students will be home, but the learning does not stop in the schools. The teachers across the district will be participating in professional development activities. All the activities support our goal of increasing student achievement.
The Fresh Fruits and Fresh Vegetables program has increased to two days a week. This grant supported program has proven to be quite successful. The students are tasting and liking a variety of the locally grown produce. For an overview of the program, check out the school board meeting video at:

As always if you have any questions, concerns or feedback, just give us a call.
