Happy Sunday! I hope you have had a wonderful weekend so far.

​

Here is the latest news and information for the week ahead:

This term, our school community has seen some truly inspiring leaps in student achievement. Leading the way, our Kindergarteners showed phenomenal growth, soaring from 26% to 86% of students meeting their benchmarks. We also saw steady, impressive gains in our other grades as well.

These numbers aren't just statistics; they are a direct reflection of our collective teamwork and a renewed focus on consistent attendance. When students are in their seats every day, they have the opportunity to engage with our dedicated staff and build the momentum necessary for these breakthroughs.

As we look forward to our upcoming conferences, we are excited to sit down with each of you to share your child’s individual success stories. Let’s take this time to celebrate how far they’ve come and keep that momentum going!

Please remember to sign up for conferences with your child's teacher.

This month's virtue is Perseverance!

Persevering at school means maintaining your effort and focus even when you face difficulties, setbacks, or a lack of motivation. It is the ability to push through the "hard parts" of learning to achieve your long-term educational goals.

It isn't just about working hard when things are going well; it is defined by how you react when things go wrong.

In advance of exclusion day (Feb. 25), Orchid Health will hold vaccination clinics on Monday, Feb. 9 and Monday, Feb. 23 at the Sandy High School clinic. The clinics are by appointment only and appointments can be made by calling 971-220-2701.

Finally, we hope you have a great week and please reach out to us if we can help in any way.

Thank you,
