Greetings Star Lake Families,

Well, can you believe we are here in June with only a few days left in the school year? It is hard to believe that this time last year we were packing up to move into our beautiful new building, and now we have had a wonderful year in this amazing facility! I am so proud of our students and their hard work, flexibility and resiliency. As always, our staff has wrapped their hearts around our students and school community and provided strong social emotional structures and supports.

All of this has resulted in a year to be proud of. Right at this time, we are finishing up end of year testing so I don’t have results for all grade levels yet. Here are a few examples of the great growth our students are making:

IRLA reading: 36% on target in October ----- 49% on target in May

iReady reading: Kindergarten 40% on grade level in winter ------ 83% on level in Spring

1st grade: 19% on grade level in Fall ----- 51% on grade level in Spring

2nd grade: 18% on grade level in Fall ----- 55% on grade level in Spring

iReady math: 1st grade: 6% on grade level in Fall ----- 48% on grade level in Spring

2nd grade: 12% on grade level in Fall ----- 50% on grade level in Spring

We have some fun end of year events coming up too!

Friday, June 9th is our last PTA spirit day with a “Tropical” theme and popcorn.

Kindergarten and 5th grade celebrations are on Friday, June 16th…watch for details from your child’s teacher.

Field day will be Tuesday, June 20th and we will have our end of the year assembly on Wednesday, June 21st.

Again…watch for times and details coming via Remind and notices.

Our first day of school for next year will be Wednesday, August 30! Again, watch for information coming over the summer regarding our Meet your Teacher event and our Back to School BBQ!

I wish your family a summer filled with adventure, rest, joy, reading and sunshine! Take care and we will see you soon!
