🎅🎉 Happy December!
This semester has flown by, and I want to start by bragging on our amazing teachers and students for earning an 87 on the state report card — the highest score in the district! 🏆 We are so proud of this accomplishment. I truly believe we can be an A school, and we need your partnership to get there. 💪📚
The state report card is based on growth and proficiency on the ACAP (given in April), as well as attendance. Please encourage your students to give their best effort each day as we prepare for testing in the coming months ✨, and please make sure they are at school consistently. 🏫

Friday, Dec. 19- Make-Up Exams/ Early Dismissal
**Exams are given during regular class periods; there is no separate bell schedule.
Please make sure your child is not checked in or out during an exam period. 🚫⏰ We will not interrupt an exam for a late arrival, and students who miss their exam time will take a make-up exam on Friday.
📊 iReady Mid-Year Assessments
Students have begun taking their iReady mid-year assessments. If they meet their growth goals in both reading and math, they will earn a S’more Party next semester! 🔥🍫 Please encourage them to do their best—this assessment provides valuable data that helps us prepare for state testing.
⌛ Tardies
According to the DCS Code of Conduct, students receive a discipline referral after three unexcused tardies to school or class. We offered a great deal of grace during first semester, but we must enforce the policy moving forward.
If your child is late to school, please send a written note so the tardy can be excused. 📝
Thank you for your continued support and for partnering with us to help every student succeed! 🌟
🎄❤️ Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family!
