Congratulations. Awesome accomplishments for these young ladies.
The band students are ready to perform! Over 17 bands are participating today! Rehearsal and pre performance!
Look at the cute pumpkins and stealthy Kinder Ninjas! Mrs. Browning’s kinders had fun tearing paper to make happy and not so happy jack-o-lanterns and the ninjas are ready to earn their “belts” when learning criteria is mastered
We have some amazing and creative makers. These kinders enjoyed choosing a Morning Tub and working by themselves or with a partner to make a bus, airplane and necklace.
Our lost and found is overflowing already! These tables are in the lobby. If your child is missing something, it is likely here! Stop in and see if you can claim anything.
Flashlight Friday was a hit in second grade! 🔦📚

Kindergarten Families:
We have had an influx of new students to our school and many of them are kindergarten students. This is fantastic news for our district! However, research shows that smaller class sizes (15-18 students) is optimal for the first few years of a child’s education. They are the foundational years and students are able to learn and grow more when the teacher to student ratio is smaller.
We currently have two kindergarten sections and each class has 24 students. This number is not ideal and we feel that adding a third section of kindergarten is what would be best for all of our kindergarten students. This idea was proposed to the Board of Education at Monday night’s board meeting and was approved. Starting this week we will begin putting the plan in motion to create a third section of kindergarten.
This transition will take a few weeks to complete and we are anticipating our third section will begin close to the end of the first marking period. Each of the three sections will have 16 students. At this point, we have not determined who will be in what class. Please know that some students will remain with the teacher they currently have and other students will be moving to have a different teacher. We will be using the same procedure to place students as we do each summer. We will be doing our best to balance all three classes based on gender, behavior patterns, and academic achievement.
Please watch for more information to be coming home as we have updated information and decisions are made. Making a change a quarter of the way through the school year is not ideal. However, in this case, the benefit of having smaller class sizes and being able to provide your students with a more optimal learning environment outweighs the challenge of change. We will be utilizing our K-6 Counselor to assist students in adjusting to these changes.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Your student’s education is of utmost importance to us and we will always make decisions based on what we feel is best for children.
Yours in Education,
Kendra Feldhusen
K-6 Principal
