This year, we have some changes to our parking loop and drop off zone! Watch the video below to learn more, and thank you for keeping our students safe!
It is a welcome change to have students and staff filling the hallways and classrooms once again! We are especially excited to see the many new faces joining us as staff and students. The amount of academic learning that takes place during the opening week is always limited, as staff rightfully focus on routines, behaviors, and trying to get to know all of the new learners. In the coming weeks, the balance shifts as we work to grow curiosity, explore content and both broaden and deepen relationships. We look forward to partnering with parents, family, and community during the year ahead, as we work to best support our learners. Please reach out to let us know how we are doing, and have a great year!

Instilling a Love of Reading
Based on recommendations in the book No More Reading for Junk: Best Practices for Motivating Readers, this year we are rethinking our reading incentive programs, which means we will implement strategies in place of the DREAMS program. Our goal is to instill a love of reading, rather than reading for things. Below is a link for more information: https://www.heinemann.com/products/e06157.aspx
