Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,


We have an inspiring and busy week ahead at our school! With our Winter Concert, MAP testing, and our upcoming Title I Family Night, there are many opportunities for students to shine and for families to connect with our learning community.


MAP Testing:
This week, students will be taking their winter MAP assessments. These tests give us valuable information about your child’s growth and help us plan instruction for the months ahead. You can support your child by ensuring they get plenty of rest, arrive on time, and come to school ready to do their best.


Winter Concert:
We’re looking forward to celebrating our students’ musical talents at the Winter Concert. This event is always a special moment for families, and we appreciate your support in helping students arrive prepared, dressed appropriately (if applicable), and ready to perform. We can’t wait to enjoy a wonderful evening together.


Title I Family Night:
We also hope you’ll join us for Title I Night. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about how we support students academically and how families can partner with us at home. Your involvement makes a tremendous difference in your child’s success, and we’re excited to welcome you.

As we navigate this busy stretch, thank you for your continued partnership. Your encouragement, communication, and support help make these events meaningful for students and families.


We look forward to a great week full of learning, celebration, and community.


Warm regards,


Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.

Principal
