Dear Little Prairie families,
I hope this newsletter finds you enjoying your Holidays. It’s hard to believe that the new calendar year is upon us and we are already preparing to be into the month of January. New years are always an exciting time!
As we approach the middle of the school year, all students 5K-2nd grade will participate in an assessment of early literacy skills. Administration of this literacy screening tool is a state requirement, and measures children’s knowledge of important literacy fundamentals. We will also utilize a tool that will gauge student’s skills in early math concepts. Students will take part in these assessments within the course of their regular day during the months of January and early February. Results will be used to guide teachers in the development of instructional activities and practices and will allow us to better address individual student needs. If you have any further questions regarding assessments, please contact your child’s classroom teacher.
As we return after some time off, please ensure that your kids are to school on time. Prior to break, we noticed an increase in the number of cars still in the drop-off line at 7:50 and after. Students should be in the door and down to their classrooms by the time the bell rings at 7:50. Thanks for all you do to help your children be successful in school. We appreciate your support!
Focused on growth for all students,
Lindsey Harris, Principal
