Dear Main Street Families,

Due to the forecast of inclement weather, we have sent home packets or electronic devices home so students can complete assignments if schools are closed. Listen to your local news stations for school closing information. In addition, I will alert you via email and phone call of school closings and delays.

πŸ“… Attendance Matters!

Currently, 65% of our students attend school 90% or more of the time. Our schoolwide goal is 90%, and we need your continued partnership to help us reach it.

πŸŽ‰ Attendance Shout-Out!
Congratulations to the students in Ms. West’s class, who are the first homeroom to earn all of the attendance letters! Letters are earned each day a class has perfect attendance, and their consistency and commitment truly paid off. As a reward, Ms. West’s class will enjoy a pizza partyβ€”way to go! πŸ•πŸ‘

Regular attendance is one of the most important factors in your child’s academic success. Students who attend school daily are more likely to stay on track, develop strong learning habits, and make meaningful growth in reading and math.

How you can help:

  • βœ… Ensure your child arrives at school on time each morning

  • βœ… Avoid early dismissals whenever possible

  • βœ… Schedule appointments after school hours when you can

  • βœ… Rememberβ€”every minute of instruction counts!


Second marking period ended today. You will receive information this week to schedule your report card conference. Report card conferences will take place Thursday, February 5th form 8:30 am - 5:30 pm. It is important you schedule your conference to discuss your child's progress.


Mid-year assessments will continue next week. Students in grades K-5 will participate in completing iReady assessments. Encourage your child to take their time and do their best. Test results are used to make important academic planning decisions.


Our PBIS Glow party is postponed. A new date has not yet been determined


Thank you for your continued partnership in helping our students grow, learn, and thrive. We are grateful for your ongoing support of Main Street Elementary.

Have a safe and warm weekend!

Warm regards,
Ms. Darnell Medley
Principal, Main Street Elementary School

Proud to serve our amazing school community!
