📚✏️ 3rd Grade Families – We Need You! ✏️📚
Next week is Interim Testing Week, and it is very important that our 3rd grade students are at school every day and on time. ⏰
These assessments help us see how much our students have learned and where we need to focus as we continue preparing for the remainder of the year. Being present and arriving on time ensures they don’t miss important instructions or valuable testing time.

🌟 Word of the Month: Kindness 🌟
This month, we are focusing on kindness—and how the words we say and the actions we choose can make a big difference in someone’s day. We’ve been talking with students about the idea of a “bucket.” Everyone carries an invisible bucket, and kind words and actions fill it up, while unkind words or actions can empty it out.

Yocum: We will be celebrating the 100th day of school TOMORROW! Students are invited to join the fun by: dressing like they’re 100 years old or wearing a shirt or hat with 100 of their favorite things!
The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain the El Dorado School District’s highest priority. Due to inclement weather and hazardous road conditions, all ESD schools will be closed on Monday, January 26. Current conditions also indicate that a closure on Tuesday, January 27, is likely. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as soon as decisions are finalized. Please stay safe and warm, Wildcats.
