Together We Soar
Connecting Eagles, Family, and Community
Dear Families,
It’s hard to believe we are already in November! I continue to be impressed by students' hard work, growth, and enthusiasm for learning each day.
This month, we will begin Progress Monitoring 2 (PM2) testing. PM2 provides us with valuable information about the academic growth students have made since the beginning of the year and helps us ensure they are on track to meet their learning goals. Our teachers are working closely together to review student data, celebrate successes, and identify the supports needed to help every child continue to grow and achieve at high levels. You are a partner in this work, and I encourage you to collaborate with your child's teacher(s) on helping your child reach their academic goals.
As we continue on with the school year, attendance remains a top priority. Every instructional day matters, and consistent attendance gives students the best opportunity to learn, practice new skills, and demonstrate what they know. Please help us by ensuring your child arrives at school on time each day and tries their very best.
Be sure to review the grade-level newsletter each week that is sent out by your child's teacher. These newsletters are one of the best ways to stay informed about what your child is learning, upcoming tests and projects, important dates, and ways you can support learning at home.
As you look ahead on our school calendar, please keep an eye out for upcoming events, family engagement opportunities, and student celebrations and activities throughout the month. We have many exciting things planned and look forward to seeing our families involved in our school community.
Don't miss our Quarter 2 SAC Meeting on November 17th at 8:30 am in the Media Center. This month, we will discuss the results of the Family Feedback Survey.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we can ensure every Seven Oaks Eagle continues to learn, grow, and soar!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Altman
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Fall Family Feedback Survey. Your input helps Seven Oaks Elementary celebrate what’s working well and identify areas where we can impact positive change.
We are proud to report:
Overall school experience: 100% reported an overall positive perception of our school; 90% indicated they wanted their child to attend our school
Communication: 97% agreed or strongly agreed that the school communicates frequently enough; 87% agreed or strongly agreed that communication is high quality
Academics: 93% agreed or strongly agreed that the school prioritizes academic performance; 91% agreed or strongly agreed that the school prepares students effectively for the next level; 84% agreed or strongly agreed that students needing extra help receive support
Safety: 95% agreed or strongly agreed that the school maintains a safe environment
Behavior: 93% agreed or strongly agreed on fairness with regard to discipline policies; 86% agreed or strongly agreed on clarity of discipline policies
Priority Themes Identified by Families:
Survey follow-through and transparency: Among the participants, substantial proportions reported being unsure of actions taken or not recalling results being shared.
Support for ESE and gifted students: Responses describe gaps in services and expectations for both ESE and gifted learners, while most participants viewed academic support positively.
We are reviewing these priorities and will make plans to take action around them. One way you can be involved in discussion around the survey results is to attend the School Advisory Council meeting on Tuesday, November 17th at 8:30 am in the Media Center. This will be one of the agenda items.
Once plans are developed by our school team with input from SAC, we will share updates and progress with you. Thank you for your detailed feedback, which is essential for improving your school experience!

Volunteers are an important part of building relationships between our school, our families, the community, and our business partners. We appreciate our volunteers and the value they add to the educational experience. In order to volunteer on campus or attend any field trips with your child(ren), you MUST be an approved volunteer.
Fingerprints are good for 5 years once you've completed that process, however, an application must be submitted each year.
