School has begun! We are off to an excellent start with 119 students here and eager to learn. Our grade configuration is: kindergarten, 19 students; 1st grade, 17 students; 2nd grade, 19 students; 3rd grade, 24 students; 4th grade, 23 students; 5th grade, 16 students; and 1 specially placed student.
There are 2 items of note that are currently under construction: first, our school action plan has 4 of the 6 focus areas completed, with the last 2 to be done during our first staff in service on September 29th. The 4 approved and completed goals, which include math, reading, early education and health/safety, are posted on this web site. The goals for writing and school climate will be added to the site once they are completed later this month. second, our student/parent handbook was NOT passed out the first day of school. As a staff we have been completely revising the handbook, particularly the areas including behavior and dress code. The editing and revisions are almost complete, and it is my hope that the handbook will be sent home on Tuesday the 7th.
Mark on your calendar our annual open house. This year it will be on Thursday, October 7th, at 6:30 PM here at SRES. Part of the open house will be a book fair hosted by Village Square Booksellers. Come join us!
Sincerely,
David Lesser, principal
