Dear Rancho Families,

We had a great week at Rancho! Thank you to all our students, teachers, families and staff for making this a great way to kick off the school year!

After a wonderful first week focused on helping students get oriented to their new classrooms, classmates, teachers, routines, and grade levels, we are ready to dig into learning!

Homework has now begun in many of our grade levels, and next week students will begin assessments in IXL. These assessments will give our teachers valuable information about student achievement, helping us identify strengths as well as areas to focus on for continued growth.

Our teachers are also beginning to implement our new ELA curriculum, Benchmark, with a focus on strong literacy instruction and grade-level standards.

Across all subject areas, teachers are identifying key learning targets so students understand what they are learning and can work toward mastery of their grade-level standards.

We are excited to move from getting settled to getting learning underway! 💙🦅

Have a great weekend with your families and I look forward to seeing you all next week.

Warmly,

Principal Young
