Teacher In-Service

We had a wonderful day on Friday during our institute day when teachers in District 66 learned about a new assessment called MAP's which stands for Measurement of Academic Progress. It was a terrific learning experience for all. It will be a wonderful tool to identify all the individual needs of our students in math & reading.

I hope you all had a wonderful three-day weekend and are looking forward to another great week.

It's Homework Time Again

Yes, it is now that time of year when homework starts. Having a routine to do this homework becomes very important whether it be right after school or after playing and a snack. Both are fine, but you have to figure out which works best for your child in order for it to be effective. First, before they start help your children put their assignments in order; idea: suggest they rank homework from the hardest to the easiest and tackle the more complicated work first. Our children grow up so fast and these little tips will

hopefully follow them throughout their life and career.........................even to the big office.

Have a great week, Principal Schultz

Another Great Week

We had another full week with our curriculum night for fourth and fifth grade. We also have been very busy setting up our reading classrooms to meet the needs of all our students. Our first Market Day of the year was held on Saturday; many turned out to help and get us off to a great start. Our students are doing well with our new PBIS -Positive Behavior Incentive System and receiving many paws for a job well done. Have a terrific weekend , Mrs. Schultz

Our First Week

What a terrific start! Thank you all for sending your children with the excitement for learning. Everyone was able to find their classrooms and start a great year. We had our first Curriculum Night when all our third grade parents were able to meet their children's homeroom teacher and their math teachers. We changed our format a little from being so formal to a more relaxed atmosphere. I hope you all enjoyed our evening and I certainly enjoyed meeting each of you and showing off our great school. Tonight we will have our fourth and fifth grade curriculum night and I hope you all enjoy yourselves with the new format. With Labor Day over we are now full speed ahead on a new journey, filled with exciting events and learning activities. Have a great week and hope to see some of you tonight, September 7th, at 6:30.
