Wildcat Chatt

Dear Wildcat Families,

It has been an absolute joy walking through our hallways and stepping into classrooms over the last couple of weeks. One of my favorite parts of the day is getting to see our students in action- watching them master their new daily routines, build strong friendships, and dive headfirst into engaging hands-on lessons. The positive energy across every grade level is contagious!

This week, our students are starting to wrap up their i-Ready Beginning-of-Year (BOY) assessments. I want to thank you for encouraging your children to do their very best. The data we gather from i-Ready is an incredibly valuable tool for our teachers. It helps us pinpoint each child’s unique strengths as well as areas where they might need a little extra nudge, allowing us to tailor instruction and provide the best possible support for your child all year long.

Quick Safety & Operations Reminder: To ensure a smooth, safe dismissal process for all of our students and staff, please remember that there are no early student checkouts after 2:15 PM. If your child has an appointment or needs to leave early, please make sure to check them out prior to 2:15 PM. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in keeping our end-of-day procedures safe and organized!

Thank you for your continued partnership, enthusiasm, and support. Together, we are building a foundation for a year full of incredible growth and success.

Have a wonderful weekend, Wildcats! 🐾💜

Your Proud Principal,

Mark Moon
