As I am writing this it is pouring rain and we are making the call for “rainy day recess.” What a wet spring we have had. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for some sunshine! Amazingly, we are coming around the bend toward the end of our school year, with only 27 school days left! We have a busy month of May ahead, here are some exciting events we are looking forward to.

Next Tuesday, May 10th at 6:00pm. Star Lake is hosting the May School Board meeting at our NEW building!

• We will be meeting in the Evergreen commons area, so you’ll probably want to park in the Evergreen parking lot and look for staff outside who will be directing you to enter the Evergreen side of the building. (The Star Lake side is having furniture delivered next week, so it is not quite yet set up)
• PLEASE, everyone, come and join us for the beginning of the school board meeting. I will be sharing a PowerPoint highlighting the great things going on at Star Lake. And, Mr. Garcia has been working with all of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students to perform the song “One Love.”
• 3rd-5th grade students will come with their families to Evergreen at 5:45, parents will have a seat in the commons, students will line up with Mr. Garcia and then perform around 6:10. We should be all finished by 6:15 and you can choose to leave or stay for the rest of the board meeting.
• ALL 3RD-5TH GRADE STUDENTS WHO COME AND SING WILL EARN 10 STAR LAKE WAY TICKETS!

On Wednesday, May 11th our staff is excited to go tour the new school and check out their classrooms, and then we have kindergarten jumpstart. And, on Thursday, May 12th we have our area 4 School Board recognition night at Thomas Jefferson. Students and staff who were nominated for recognition received an invitation this week.

3rd-5th graders are currently working hard on the state Smarter Balanced Assessments and all of our students are digging into final math and ELA lessons for the year, getting ready to take iReady assessments and celebrate the growth they have made!

As always we appreciate your support and partnership. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions and feedback.

Best to you,

Kris Rennie, Principal
