Attendance is Key to Success!

The homeroom with the lowest amount of tardies to school in January will earn free time with Leo the Lion in the gym on the last day of January! Let's have a dance party and take selfies with Leo!

One homeroom from K-2 and one homeroom from 3-5 will earn this reward!
 

ACCESS Testing

In January, our students in the English Language Learner program will participate in the ACCESS test. Your child’s teacher will communicate specific testing dates. Please see this document for more information about the ACCESS test. 


 
Adults and children work together with food processors in a classroom setting.

Stenson Spotlight: Making Latkes!

Our special services staff worked with students to follow a recipe. They worked together to make latkes and shared the final result with the staff! 
Three smiling children are seated at a table with plates of food and drinks.
They also got to enjoy their hard work by eating the tasty latkes with applesauce and sour cream!
