Hi Yorkville Grade Families!
We had a WONDERFUL Halloween celebration! Mother Nature graced us with a window of fresh, brisk air for our parade! Thank you for cheering on our kiddos! View pictures HERE

Yesterday, we welcomed our district leadership team and presented our school improvement goals. They include:
  • Lucy Calkins Writer's Workshop (writing MORE)
  • Drops in the Bucket (review standards daily)
  • Student Belonging: Photo mural, building an outdoor classroom, & clubs.
  • Math Tutoring
  • Independent Reading

Thanks for helping us reach our goals by reading, doing Dreambox/Lexia, & Drops/Bucket at home.

Parent/Teacher Conferences: This will take place on Thursday, November 11th and Friday, November 12th. We look forward to connecting about your child's progress! You have the choice between in person or Zoom (indicate that in the notes section).
Sign up HERE (A copy of your child's report card will be provided & childcare will be provided in the cafeteria).


Happy Trick or Treating!
