Last Day of School

We finished the last day of school with hugs, smiles and well wishes to our students.  It's so hard to believe that another school year is done.  In reflecting on the year we have accomplished so much as a school community.  In addition to our strong classroom daily instruction, our partnership with the PTA has allowed for our Trailblazer community to participate in many family oriented activities and events such as the Fall Festival, Family Fitness Night and Movie Night. 

In preparing for our opening of 2013-2014 our staff will participate in professional development on Monday, July 1st and Tuesday, July 2nd.  We will focus on deepening our understanding of the Common Core curriculum at all grade levels, explore English Language Arts further through the lens of rigor and prepare for our first full year of implementation of the Positive Behavior Support model. 

We patiently await the end of grade test scores and know that our students put forth their best efforts during the testing window.  When those scores are released we will study and analyze the data to identify areas where we can celebrate success and areas where we will need to grow.

I look forward to seeing students and families on the first day of school.  Students on tracks 1, 2 and 3 will return for their first day on Monday, July 8, 2013.  Students on Track 4 will return on July 29, 2013.

Your Principal,
Mrs. Graf
