From the Principal

The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him.

Psalm 103

Hello Everyone!

On Monday, all students in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade completed the second i-ready diagnostic. Today they will be bringing home a printed copy of the results. Please use the following resource, “Understanding Your Student’s i-Ready Diagnostic Results” to better understand the results. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher.

Many thanks to FSA for an outstanding Fun Fair last Friday. I know the students had a wonderful time; it was great to hear all the excitement. You made the day so special for them! I am also grateful for the many volunteers who planned the fair, spent time with us during the fair, or assisted with the setup and cleanup.

On behalf of the faculty and staff, I would also like to thank FSA for a delicious lunch on teacher appreciation day. The lovely appreciation notes, the wonderful decorations, and the gift certificates are much appreciated. Thank you for your care and support!

The Robotics Club met for the first time yesterday. We can't wait to see their finished robots!

Have a great week!

Ms. Booth
