From the Principal
March 1, 2023
Trailside Families;I can't believe March is already here. This year has gone by quickly. There are a lot of things that are happening this month that I want to share with you.- March 9th is the last day we will have an additional 30 minutes on our school day.
- March 10th there is no school for students
- March 10th is the end of the third quarter. Reports cards will be available after spring break.
- March 13th - March 17th there is no school due to spring break. School Resumes on March 20th.
- March 27th we will begin state testing.
The end of March will be the start to our statewide assessment. We are using the AK Star again this year. This test is given to students in grades 3-6 in both reading and math. Your child's teacher will send out exact dates as it comes closer. These results help us to get a snapshot of how your child is doing in each of the subject areas. 5th grade will also be taking a science assessment for the state. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.We are in the process of having families complete the climate and connectedness survey. Our students in grades 3-6 take this survey too. As a Trailside team each year, we review these survey results and base our year-long planning on the results. This survey is important for us in this planning. Please take time to tell us your needs as well as what we are doing well. The link to access the family survey is here: https://surveys.panoramaed.com/aasb/asdfamily/surveys.I hope everyone has a great March. Please reach out to us if there are any questions or concerns. We are here to help and assist in any way.Sincerely,
Heather Jones, Principal

Nurse Donna's News
Our Fabulous Nurse Donna’s Corner!Hello Winter!!Make sure your child has warm clothing for outside recess, and write your name on EVERYTHING! If you need assistance with getting winter gear or boots for your child(ren) - please contact the nurse's office.When you check your Friday folder - also check your kiddo for lice! If you find them - treat them and let the parents of your child's close friends know also. Lice are not considered a health hazard and have nothing to do with cleanliness, but they do circulate around in group settings and can be quite annoying to get rid of. Please treat your child immediately if you find them - your child's teacher thanks you for being proactive with this. 🙂Nurse Donna's Spare Cloths Closet needs donations
