📊 YOUR CHILD'S FAST DATA IS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!
Have you checked your child's Fall FAST scores yet? Please see the previous Rooms message from Principal Doyle with directions for accessing your child's results.
How can you know how far you have to go if you don't know your starting point?
Take a few minutes to look at those Fall scores. We will send home a data folder next Tuesday. Please hold on to the documents inside so that when Winter PM2 FAST scores arrive, you can compare your child's progress from Fall to Winter.
We will also host a Virtual FAST Data Q&A to help families understand score reports and answer questions you may have. Information about the date and time will be included in the Tuesday, September 22nd folder next week.
Safety!
Students who cross from Liberty Square on to the CTES campus should use the cross walk flashing light system. Please discuss with your children how to use this flashing light signs as a tool for their safety. Car Rider Parents - please watch for our walkers. DO NOT block the crosswalk by the marquee. Please help us keep everyone safe by being an alert driver who follows the traffic laws. Everyone has some place to be. Not one person's time is more valuable than another's. Be courteous, respect one another, model for our children the importance of safety and community.
Progress Reports-
Progress reports post in Focus on Tuesday Sept 15th. Be sure to check your students and discuss goals for success.
🚗 ARRIVAL - DISMISSAL – PLEASE READ
We continue to have a number of students who are tardy to school and or not being picked up on time. Some both. The start of school is 8:30 and end time is 3:10. These times are not optional. They apply to all students. It is crucial that every student has a consistent plan for arrival and dismissal that allows them to receive all of their instructional time and to be picked up on time.
We have bus transportation available for students living in our attendance area who are not designated walkers. If consistently arriving on time for car rider arrival and or dismissal is difficult, car rider may not be the best transportation plan for your family. Apply for your neighborhood bus via your parent focus account.
Thank you for partnering with us. When our families and school work together, we create the safe, orderly and academically focused environment our Mustangs deserve.
Have a great week, Mustangs! 💙🐎

Good evening, Mustang Families,
As we head into the Labor Day weekend, we have a few important reminders and updates to share with our families.
PTA Fundraiser: We have just a few days remaining in our schoolwide Otis Spunkmeyer fundraiser! Every family’s participation makes a difference. If everyone does their fair share, together we can raise the funds needed to provide student incentives, special activities, and experiences that help make our school a wonderful home away from home for our Mustangs. Thank you to everyone who has already participated and supported our PTA!
State Assessment Scores: Earlier today, we sent information explaining how to access your child’s Fall State Assessment results through the Parent Portal. Please take some time to review both the directions and your child’s results. Some students will continue testing this coming week, and assessment results may take up to 24 hours after testing to appear in the portal.
We ask that you please take a few minutes to review the Student Code of Conduct and our school expectations with your child. Please remind your students that they are here to learn and grow. It is never acceptable to disrupt the learning of others. It is never acceptable to take something that does not belong to them, damage or destroy another person’s property, or use words or actions that cause another student to feel unsafe.
Every child deserves to come to school feeling safe, supported, and ready to learn. Behaviors that compromise the safety of others or significantly interfere with teaching and learning will not be tolerated. We appreciate your partnership in reinforcing these expectations at home so that together we can maintain the positive learning environment our students deserve.
Finally, please remember that Monday is a holiday and there is no school. We hope all of our Mustang families enjoy a safe, relaxing Labor Day weekend. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school Tuesday morning, rested and ready for another great week!
Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support of our school. 💙🐴
