Last evening, each of our elementary schools hosted a Title I Night called the Amazing Reading Race! Students read clues with their families and raced around the building to find teachers that shared about the five pillars of literacy. Families also got materials to practice and take home to continue practicing reading skills at home. The partnership between teachers, students, and families are game changing for student success!
Congratulations to Dawn Rowe, Carlin Park's Teacher of the Year! Her dedication, enthusiasm, and passion for learning are truly appreciated and make her an invaluable asset to our school!
A sure sign of spring...
Today the weather was PERFECT for recess. Tomorrow the temperature will be in the 30s during that time. Please continue to send your children with coats as the Indiana weather keeps us guessing from day to day. Thank you!
