East Valley Elementary School

Happy May!
Last month’s character trait was ‘grit’.  What an appropriate word as we wind down to the last month of school.  Many of the classes have begun End of the Year Assessments; whether it is Iready Reading and Math, Smarter Balance or End of Unit Assessments.  I have been so impressed with the growth students have made!  Rebounding from the impact the pandemic had on our students has been our focus.  As a district and school, we have put programs in place to recover lost learning.  Learning is a skill set and a mindset.  We give the tools for students to learn the necessary skills, but it is their mindset or ‘grit’ that truly helps them succeed. Thank you for supporting your child at home and encouraging them every day to do their very best.  If you have any questions, please call my office at 509 573-7620.
 
As the school year begins to wind down, I hope you are able to take advantage of the many upcoming fun events we have planned:
            May 20th Muffins with Mom
            May 27th Spirit Day: Hawaiian Day
            June 3rd. Donuts with Dad
            June 14 Field Day
            June 15th Last Day of School
 

Sincerely,
Colleen Crowston
