Hello Bobcats!

I hope you have had a wonderful weekend and were able to enjoy the sun! I can't believe this is the last week of school for the 24-25 school year! Here is what's coming up this week: 
 

No more early release

Just a friendly reminder that the last day of Early Release was May 28th. We do not have any Early Release times scheduled during the month of June.
 

Library Books

Calling all overdue library books. We are nearing the end of the year and we have a significant amount of books that are overdue or missing. Please take a moment to ask your child or your child's teacher if they have any missing books.
 

Field Day (June 13th)

We will have our End of Year Field Day on June 13th. We are looking for volunteers to help run stations. If you are interested and an approved volunteer, please reach out to our volunteer coordinator, Loretta Gaul at sgsvolunteerloretta2023@gmail.com to sign up. 
 

Medication

It's that time of year again... Please pick up any medication you may have brought in for your student during the school year. The last day of school is June 13th so any medication left here will be disposed of as they cannot be kept at the school over summer break. Please note that students are not permitted to take medications home with them. 
 

Lost and Found

Our Lost and Found is overflowing! Just a reminder to come to the school to browse through before the end of the school year. All clothing left after the last day (6/13) will be donated!

Our Students are Growing!

I am so proud of the growth this school year! In Acadience Reading as a school we have 70% of students at grade level in comparison to 52% four years ago!! Woohoo!

According to iReady Reading...

Kindergarten went from 37% Meeting to 78%! We have the fewest amount of students below grade level, ever!

1st grade made a 7% growth in Acadinece and 53% growth on iReady Reading!

2nd grade grew by 32% in iReady reading and 51% in iReady math!

3rd grade grew 44% in iReady math and 42% in iReady Reading.

4th grade grew 34% in iReady reading and 53% in iReady Math.

5th grade grew 24% in math and 12% in reading.

OSAS State testing is done and scores are coming in. Although we are still not where I would like to be, I am proud to say we are beating the state at every grade level in reading and math and are outperforming the district in 3rd/4th grade reading and 4th grade math.

We will continue to focus on growing our students each year. They deserve the best education we can give them! Thank you for trusting us with your child, we love them all dearly!
