6.a. Elementary Principal Report
Rationale:
February Elementary Board ReportThe third quarter has come to an end, and we continue to see strong effort from our students. A total of 95 students in grades 1-6 reached their AR goal this quarter. This is a great accomplishment and reflects the continued focus on reading throughout the elementary school. Our Anchored in One Book initiative is going strong. Students and staff have worked their way through Chapter 6, and the response has been very positive. I have heard many encouraging comments from both students and staff about the book and the shared reading experience it is creating throughout the school. Mrs. Samuelson continues to do an excellent job leading Math Olympiads. Students involved in the program are being challenged to think critically and develop strong problem-solving skills. We would also like to recognize our Captains of the Month, who continue to demonstrate leadership, responsibility, and what it means to follow the Sailor Way:
