Welcome, winter weather!

As we enter the season where the weather and/or temperature could potentially cause a snow day or early dismissal, I just want to remind you to make sure the school office has your most current phone number.  In the event of an early out or no school, an AlertNow phone call will go out and it is very important that we have your number.  The closings will also be announced on KQTV, St. Joe Now, K-JO radio, and SJSD channel 41.

Setting Goals

"Today is your day!  Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!" ~Dr. Seuss

A few weeks ago, our class set an end-of-year reading goal.  We want to reach at least 80% on-grade-level (meaning proficient or advanced readers) by the end of the school year.  Shortly after setting this goal, we read Dr. Seuss' Oh, the Places You'll Go!  The encouragement that we can climb any mountain, with some hard work, was well-timed!  We now have a Mountain in the front of our classroom to help us remind ourselves daily of our goal...and our ability to achieve it!
