We are at the end of another fantastic year! We started off
at a sprint and it seemed that we just kept on moving this year, but we have
had a terrific year and students have accomplished a great deal. The staff is
very proud of their growth and progress toward established goals.
We know that parents have been an instrumental part in
students meeting their goals this year, and we want to thank you for all of
your support. Our PTA has also helped us provide art education for students, a
variety of field trips and supplies for classrooms to mention just a few of the activities they support.
As we move forward next year, writing will again provide a
major focus for all grade levels. The results were phenomenal this year and we are
working to continue improvement in the upcoming year. Please encourage your
students to write and read over the summer to avoid a summer dip in skills. The
library has wonderful programs to help students continue to read and myON is
available for students to use over the summer. I encourage you to look at the
website as we have posted links to sites that will engage and motivate students
in reading and math.
I know the summer will go all too quickly, but we will look
forward to welcoming the students back on August 26th. All students
will need to register on August 12th or you can mail the
registration form you receive early in August back to Ellis if it is received
before registration day. Students will have an opportunity to bring in their
supplies and meet the teachers on August 25th from 5:00-6:00 p.m. at
Back to School Night.
Enjoy your summer and we look forward to seeing you in the
fall!
