January Updates

The end of the month is approaching and I want to share a few updates with you. This week we welcomed Track 4 back to school. We hope you enjoyed your break and are ready to get back into learning routines. Track 3 tracked out and we wish you rest, safe travels and continued learning over your time off.

This week we continued to showcase the wonderful learning and teaching process, our beautiful campus and our welcoming climate by giving tours both in the morning and in the evening. We have had great feedback from prospective parents about our school. I am proud to share the many outstanding learning opportunities that we are able to offer our students with newcomers in the community.

Additionally, our 3rd-5th graders participated in the district Benchmark assessment this week. The assessment will give teachers valuable information to consider as a grade level and in individual classrooms for instruction.

We will close out January with our second Schoolwide Title I planning meeting on Monday the 30th. Our Transition Team will meet for a half day to continue to plan for schoolwide implementation in the 2012-2013 school year. We are excited about the progress we are making in planning for the new school year.

In looking ahead to February, we have several important events coming up:
Book Fair (February 1st-16th), Moonlight Reading Family Night (February 9th from 5:30-8:00), the PTA Board meeting (February 14th at 6:30) and our first Early Release Day (February 17th: dismissal at 1:15) of the new year.

We continue to blaze trails here at BRES as we wrap up January! :) Mrs. Graf
