From the Principal
Dear Trailside Families;
I hope everyone had a great holiday break and came back to 2022 renewed and refreshed. It has been a very cold start to our second semester. Please remind your student to bring their warm gear to school as we do go outside as long as the wind chill is above -10. Students have 30 minutes of recess each day so gear is essential to keeping them safe outside and warm.
Normally, February is Visit Your Schools month. This year, Visit your Schools has been canceled. Please refer families with questions about school to either the front office or myself so we can answer all the questions about school families may have.
On February 2nd, we have been chosen to have our 4th-grade students take the NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) assessment. Students will either take math or a reading assessment on that day.
Starting on February 14th, we will be sending out information regarding the Climate and Connectedness survey. There is a parent portion for this as well as a student portion for grades 3-12. Stay tuned for more information in February.
We are slowly bringing in more after-school activities for students through our PTA. Those are shared through the PTA website and you can sign up for them through the same website. You can go there and check it out at https://sites.google.com/site/trailsideelementaryasd/membership?authuser=0
Please take time out each night to read with your children and follow up with their day at school. If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to call the office at 742-5500 or send an email to jones_heather@asdk12.org.
Sincerely,
Heather Jones, Principal
Trailside Elementary School
