A note from Mrs. Harris

Happy November! It’s hard to believe that we are already 2 months into the school year. We are in full swing, and off to a great start.

Thank you, families, for your participation in Parent-Teacher Conferences. Those conversations are important to us, and we appreciate your partnership. You will be receiving further written communication about your child’s progress via their first trimester report card in a few weeks. The last day of first trimester is Tuesday, November 25th. Reports cards will be available via Family Access several days after that.

As we wrap up the last few weeks of the 1st trimester, we are excited about all of the great things happening here at Little Prairie. Students are continuing to work hard exhibiting our school expectations of respect, responsibility, safety, and care. Our November theme for the month is responsibility. As we work to meet the social, emotional, and academic needs of students, teachers recently completed the Social, Academic, Emotional Behavior Risk Screener (SAEBRS) for students 5K-2nd grade. This tool allows us to identify students that might be in need of academic and/or social emotional support. Additionally, students have been hard at work in their classrooms developing skills to reach the various learning targets that have been established for all academic areas. More details about specific learning targets can be found in classroom/grade level communication and will also be highlighted on your child’s report card.

As we move forward in the year, remember that school attendance is crucial to your child’s academic success. We are currently experiencing an influx of students arriving just after 7:50. Please make every effort to have your students here, and here on time.

Focused on growth for all students,
Mrs. Harris
