December 5, 2025
ME families,
 
Starting December 5, 2025, our school will be administering the Measurable Results Assessment (MRA). This is a survey and reporting system provided through our Leader In Me membership, which our PTSA helps to support, that is designed to provide insights into the progress of our school. In order to provide a holistic picture of what is going on in our school, the MRA includes three different surveys; 1) one completed by all school staff, 2) one completed by students in grades 4 and 5, and 3) one completed by the families of students in all grades.
 
We hope you will participate so we can use the feedback to make our school an even better place for students and families. If you have any questions about the surveys or wish to see a list of questions, please contact the school’s front office.

Family Survey
What: Online survey completed by one member of each household.
  • Survey typically takes about 5 minutes to complete.
  • Questions relate to the experiences you and your child have at our school.

​The PTSA will be collecting new and gently used books for kids in preschool through high school to support Clothes for Kids. Drop off books at the donation bin at the Book Fair, December 5th - 12th.
