Dear Mark,
I hope this first edition of The Tiger's Roar! finds you off to a wonderful start to the new school year! Just last week report cards were sent home for quarter 2 and are currently available on Skyward. Please take some time and review your child’s grades with them if you have not done so already.
Please join us in celebrating Literacy Week - January 23rd through the 27th - with the theme “Take a Deep Dive into Literacy- Splash into New Worlds.” Look for information on the activities planned for the week in this edition.
We have a large number of special events coming up over the next several weeks including some testing - ACCESS for ELLs. This is an assessment taken annually by English language learners. Our PTA also has some exciting events on the schedule and classroom pictures will be taken on the last day of January. Please look over the schedule of events closely for those that may apply to your student.

Thank you Deputy Threat for helping to keep our Tigers safe! January 9 was National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day and Deputy Threat of the Orange County Sheriff's Office is our School Resource Officer. | |

The annual OCPS Parent Survey opened on Tuesday. The responses are kept anonymous from the schools, but we do get to see the combined parent results which we use in our school improvement planning. Please click the link below to share your feedback with us. Thank you for your help!
