Magnuson's Megaphone
10/02/2024
We're already in October, and Count Day is here! As usual, the year is off to a great start with a rapid pace. Everyone is settling in and most of the fall assessments have been completed. Our new Principal, Mrs. Jen Walters, is a talented and focused addition to our team, and we're thrilled to have her here!
Under her leadership, we're moving toward even better academics, returning clubs and sports to the school, and maintaining a safe and exciting environment for kids. The upgraded version of Ready Reading and Math, which now includes an online portion for students, is research-based and being used enthusiastically in all classrooms.
Keep an eye out for volunteer opportunities, or join the Parent-Teacher Team (PTT) to meet other parents, participate in planning events, and even assist in steering the school. We've had large PTT groups in the past, and have been able to offer an amazing assortment of activities because of that. Your assistance either as a member of the PTT or as a Parent Volunteer or Room Parent makes all the difference.
We appreciate you and all the work you do to get your kids to school each day, ready to learn. We know it's a big job and we commend you for also assisting with homework, getting them fed, providing clothes that fit the dress code and then ensuring that they're wearing them, getting them to bed at a decent hour, and most importantly, showing them just how much they're loved. You're the best, and we're eagerly looking forward to working with you this year!
Warmly,
Dr. Amanda Magnuson
