Dr. Miller's Message
It is amazing to realize that we are 3/4 of the way
through this school year. As we work with our students and we track their
learning with them, it is wonderful to see the growth our kids are making.
I would encourage you to ask your child each day what learning targets
(or I can statements) they are working on in math, reading and writing. You will be amazed at what is expected and achieved by our elementary
students.
I did want to let you know that the district
will have a bond and levy issue on the ballot on April 8th. Please take
time to get informed on the issues that directly impact our schools and then be
sure to get out and vote. Please let me know if I can help answer any
questions you may have.
As we enter 4th quarter after spring break, we
need to help kids understand that 4th quarter needs to be our best quarter.
Our expectations for learning will continue to be high for all of our
students. Help them end strong.
