Tamarack Elementary

Hello Tamarack Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful fall break. We can't wait to see everyone and get back to work. Over fall break the 2025-2026 KSA results were released to the public. Tamarack earned overall Green status. We are extremely proud of the work that our students and teachers put in everyday. Way to go STARS!

This week we will be having Parent-Teacher Conferences. Please be on the look out for communication from your child's teacher on how to set up an appointment. We look forward to meeting with our families and shaing information on how we can help your child and work together as a team.

I have included a Needs Assessment survey in this Newsletter. We will be using the feedback from this survey to make decisions on how to improve Tamarack for our students, staff, and families. Please complete the survey to help us determine how to best meet the needs of our families.

School Smiles will also be visiting Tamarack this week. If you signed up your child to be seen by School Smiles they will be visiting this Tuesday.

I hope everyone has a great week!

-Mrs. Morris
