Dear Longfellow Families,

Welcome back to school! I hope you are all enjoying “settling in again” after the happy and busy holiday season. I know I am after a wonderful two weeks spent with family and friends.

Although our new year continues to bring with it tremendous economic challenges, we have much to celebrate.  I would like to share that over 450 Longfellow students had perfect attendance this past trimester.  Each student received a certificate and was acknowledged in class.  Since it is our goal for all students to earn at least one perfect trimester attendance award, this means that close to 50% of our children were at school every day since September 7th! Based on the results of our first trimester math and reading exams, 90% of our students are proficient or advanced proficient in math and 80% are proficient advanced proficient in reading.  This is a small increased from last year, which is fabulous news!

The beginning of the New Year is also a time for us to review and refocus on our five school wide goals.  These goals are:

1.     To provide an educational program in a safe, secure, friendly environment that ensures all students will attain proficiency and/or makeat least a year’s progress in all core content areas.

2.     To provide instruction and assignments that are differentiated to provide rigor for proficient and advanced proficient students.

3.     To provide 100 minutes/week of Physical Education instruction that is aligned with grade level physical education standards.

4.     To follow the Six Pillars of Character (trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness caring and citizenship) school wide.

5.     To increase student attendance.

In closing, I encourage you to join me at the next Coffee with the Principal on January 24, 2012 at 8:00 a.m. in the library.  I will gladly answer any and all questions you may have about Longfellow School. 

Warm regards,

Laurie Murrin

Principal
