Minnehaha Parents & Families,

With Mrs. Reed’s departure as our building secretary, all of us at Minnehaha have been working hard to try to compensate for all of her daily roles & responsibilities. This has required a tremendous amount of flexibility and patience! You may also have experienced the need for this right along with us. The good news – Mrs. Teri Oenning started with us last week, and is quickly learning names & faces. If you get a chance, introduce yourself, say hi, and welcome her to Minne. And of course, thank you for your patience as she gets to know our students, families, routines, and procedures.

SBA: We are currently in the middle of our Smarter Balanced Assessments for grades 3-5. For the most up -to-date & accurate testing schedule, please communicate directly with your child’s teacher. It is important that you know your child’s testing days, so you can provide support and encouragement,

As we begin the final stretch of the school year (approximately 30 days left!), please continue to encourage your child to finish the school year strong and continue to give full effort. As busy and filled as these last days are, our teachers continue to teach important standards all the way to the end.

Thank you for your ongoing partnerships with our staff and community here at Minne!

Troy
