Message from the Principal

Dear Wildcat Families, 

There is ONLY one quarter left of this school year. It’s so hard to believe!  The fourth quarter  is when a ton of learning comes together and students blossom.  All those newly created learning pathways connect with previous learning  and their growth from the beginning of the school year until now is impressive.  This last quarter is  also a very busy time of year with field trips and special activities and celebrations. 

Just a few weeks ago we held our annual Student Led Conferences.  As educators, we LOVE Student Led Conferences! It is the student’s time to share what their strengths and challenges are, as well as being the LEADER and STAR of their conference.   Several parents commented that they enjoyed seeing how confidently their child presented what they are learning and how excited about at school they are.  Our family participation rate was 94%.  Thank YOU families for joining us to make Student Led Conferences such a great success.  

We hope you enjoyed the time with your family and friends during Spring Break.  As the days get longer it's tempting to stay up a little longer, however the amount of sleep is still very important for all.  Bedtime stories are a wonderful way to wind down in the evening. Late nights make it really hard to rise and shine with focus and energy to tackle the learning day.   

Please read the Friday Bulletin each week to stay connected and informed.   

Third Quarter report cards will be sent home electronically on Thursday, April 10, 2025

Kind Regards,   

Sherri Hatley, Principal
