π― 100th Day of School π―
February 10th
Our 100th day of school is fast approaching! On February 10th students are encouraged to join in on the spirit of the 100th day and dress as if they are 100 years old!
KG's 100th day is February 9th since they started a day earlier than grades 1-4.
π ACCESS Testing π
January 5 - February 20
Itβs time for ACCESS testing! All multilingual learners will take this annual language assessment during school hours. The test looks at growth in Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking, and itβs an important way for us to see how students are developing their English skills. All testing will be done by our English Language Education (ELE) teachers, and score reports will be shared with families in late May/early June.

A Review of Policies and Procedures
Please take some time to review the student handbook for grades K-4. We will ask you to sign off on this when logging into PowerSchool to access your student's grades.
π Dismissal Reminders π
A Few Reminders to Help Keep Everyone Safe
Our goal is to always make sure dismissal runs smoothly and safely.
- ALL Parent Pickup cars should be in the pickup lane (Right-hand drive, closest to the school)
- There should be no cars in the bus lane or parked in parking spots to pick up students
- All cars must pull up to the sidewalk to get students. Students will not be allowed to cross into traffic.
- All parents should remain in their cars to keep the flow of traffic moving
- Students will enter cars through the rear passenger side door.
If you need to change how your student is going home for a day, it needs to go through the front office by 2:00!
Students will also not be able to be dismissed after 3:00. If you need to pull your kiddo out early for an appointment please make sure it is before 3:00 and that the front office is notified earlier in the day.
π Standards Based Grading π
Please see a breakdown of Standards Scoring Below
A new standards-based report card format has been introduced in grades K-4 in the 2025-2026 school year. While parents and students in grades K-4 will continue to view report cards through Power School, the format will look different. Students in grades 3-4 will continue to receive a letter grade for each subject, but will also be assessed using state standards for each subject area, including specials. Kindergarteners will continue to be assessed using only standards. Grades K-2 will be standards only, no letter grades. Teachers will assess students using the state standards to insure clarity and consistency in expectations across classroom and grade levels. The standards-based design will allow more detailed feedback aligned with specific learning goals for each of the subjects, thereby aiding parents, students, teachers and administrators to focus on growth and areas needing additional support.
