You may receive an email sometime in the next week from SameGoal asking you to review your child’s Reading Improvement and Monitoring Plan (RIMP). If you receive this, your child qualifies for additional reading support based on their beginning-of-the-year reading diagnostic data. The RIMP helps us outline how we will monitor and support their continued growth. There is no need to be concerned. This is simply a way for us to work together to provide your child with the support they need to be successful.
If you receive the email, please take a few minutes to review the plan and electronically sign it. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher.

Good afternoon, Alexander families!
As you can tell from the photo, we are all very excited to see you tomorrow morning! Since the first day of school is always one of the busiest days of the year, please be patient with us as we kick off the new school year. Bus Riders: Please be ready at your bus stop 5-10 minutes earlier than your scheduled pick-up time. Car Riders: Please give yourselves extra time for drop-off and pick-up. Traffic will be very heavy, and student safety is our top priority. See you in the morning!
We are so excited to welcome our students back next week! We hope to see everyone at Open House on Monday from 5:00–7:00 p.m.
