Weekly Updates (January 23 - January 27)

Parents/Guardians -

This past week was filled with high levels of student engagement. Several students also joined us for Saturday Scholars to increase their understanding and grade level proficiency. While there is still more work to do, in 3rd- 5th grade, we have made an overall 8% gain in ELA and a 11% gain in Math on PM2. Students received wrist bands for achieving proficiency and making gains and turn their bands in for rewards at lunch. Over one hundred students took part in our "On a Roll" celebration.

This week is literacy and spirit week. Students will Splash into Literacy with several guest readers and reading activities. We will also celebrate the 100th day of school on Tuesday, Jan. 24. We will close out the week with our Kona Ice fundraiser, and Digits, Dads, and Donuts in select classrooms on Friday, Jan. 27.

Next week marks the halfway point of Q3. Midterm progress reports. On Jan. 31, parents can view their child's progress in FOCUS. On Feb. 1, we will have our next early release day and parent-teacher conferences. On Friday, Feb. 3, we will host our PBIS celebration: Minute to Win It. Please note that uniform compliance is a part of the PBIS celebration criteria. Students are required to be in uniform daily. Our school navigator, Alyse Taylor, is on campus to provide support as needed. You can request assistance through the Focus Parent Portal. Ms. Taylor can assist with emergency food assistance, transportation, shelter, utility assistance, medical, dental, and uniforms to name a few. We are here to help. Take advantage of our great resource.

As always, we hope you have another great week of learning at Montclair, where we are Montclair Proud and Montclair Strong.

Warm regards,

Principal Person
