Star Reports Now Available

Star Reports for Fall 2026 are now available through your parent Portal. Click HERE for instructions on how to access the reports.

What is Star?
Star Assessments are short tests that provide teachers with personalized learning data for each student. Star tests are computer-adaptive, which means they adjust in difficulty to each answer students provide. Students will take a Star test for math and reading in the fall, winter, and spring. Teachers analyze the data they receive from Star Assessments to learn what students already know and what they are ready to learn next, to monitor student growth, and to determine which students may need additional help. Star Assessments are research-based and scientifically proven to help teachers guide each student on their unique path to proficiency.

Guidance on how to read the Star Student Report is available here and is also translated.

Families @ The Library: Come Stock Up on Books!

Did you know families can check out books from our school library? Starting September 22, stop by each Tuesday from 2:45–3:45 and stock up on great books to enjoy at home! It’s an easy way to keep plenty of books on hand for your family—right here at school.

Bring a bag and choose a stack of books to enjoy at home. Stay and enjoy one of our optional family activities, or just pop in for a quick checkout.

We’d love to see you at the library!

Birthday Celebrations at School

We love celebrating your children! Birthdays will continue to be recognized in fun, age‑appropriate ways during the school day so every student feels special.

Updated Birthday Policy

To keep all students safe—especially those with allergies or health concerns—we are making the following changes:

What’s Changing

No more traditional classroom birthday parties with food or snacks.

What You Can Still Do

Gift Bags: Store‑bought, individually wrapped items may be sent and will be handed out at the end of the day to take home.
Invitations: Birthday party invitations may also be passed out at the end of the day.

Why the Change?
This policy ensures every child can safely join in the celebration, regardless of dietary or health needs.

Thank you for helping us keep school celebrations safe, inclusive, and special for all students. If you have any questions, please reach out!
