EL students take an English language proficiency test every year. Testing helps teachers understand whether students have the language skills they need to fully participate in the classroom. Your child’s teachers use ACCESS for ELLs test scores as they decide how best to teach your child. Test scores also help teachers track your child’s progress in learning academic English and help schools decide what English language support services to provide.
All students who will be participating in this testing will receive a letter from their child's EL teacher before the testing starts. |

Students will be able to enjoy a fresh fruit or vegetable snack during the school day through the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP). This program is federally assisted and completely free, providing children with the opportunity to try new and different varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables. The goal of the program is to help children become more familiar with fresh produce and to increase their overall acceptance and consumption of unprocessed fruits and vegetables. |

January's Show Up Class CompetitionFor the month of January, the class with the least amount of unexcused absences will win the competition along with an award. However, we also know that your child's health should always come first. That's why we urge you to keep your child at home if they are unwell. Remember, if your child has a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, they need to stay home until they are free of symptoms for 24 hours without medication. Please let us know if your child is staying home by calling or emailing the school's office so we can excuse their absence. It's important for us to make sure that your child is in a safe and healthy environment at school. We take your child's education and well-being seriously, and we want to ensure they have the best experience possible. |
Missing School: It Adds Up!When your child attends school regularly and on time, they have the opportunity to excel academically and to establish a positive daily routine for learning.
Regular attendance allows for students to be involved in lessons, develop relationships with their peers, and make the most out of their education. It also gives the teacher the opportunity to assess each student and effectively plan ahead.
Excessive absences can lead to students missing out on important information or falling behind in their learning. Regular school attendance is an important indicator of your child's performance and success as they grow. Simply put, absences add up. |

We understand that as a parent, you may have specific concerns about your child's education and well-being. However, during student pickup, our teachers need to focus on ensuring a safe departure for all students with their families. We also respect the privacy of our students and their families, and therefore, we do not hold personal conversations about a student during this time. If you would like to speak with your child's teacher, please feel free to use one of the communication methods provided, and our teacher will respond to you as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding! |

If you're interested in helping out with classroom preparation, supervising during lunch, or organizing games at recess, please contact Mrs. Wheeler at the office to participate. We appreciate any extra help! |

Students can buy a bag of freshly popped popcorn for only 50 cents every Wednesday as a snack. Popcorn orders are taken during attendance in the morning, so students need to arrive on time to place their order. Each student is limited to two bags. A big thank you to our dedicated parent volunteers who make this treat possible!
