This Week

Mt. Stuart Families- 
Thanks for making this such a great week. It was a delight to be able to celebrate so much student learning growth with everyone. Our teaching staff is working hard and so are your precious kids! Eagle Clap!!!  Thank you to our Parent Group for making sure the Book Fair went so well. It’s a lot of work and we appreciate our volunteers! 

Next week we will only have 3 days of school. Monday & Tuesday are normal 3:40 releases, then Wednesday we will release at 2pm. 

Repeated Information:
Ellensburg School District has been doing a Center for Educational Effectiveness survey for a few years. We are now within the window for this school year. Our students in grades 4-5 will take a student survey, our staff takes a survey and you are invited to participate in a family survey. It only takes a few minutes and our district values your input! https://ceeffectiveness.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7U173h8qe34SYZM

Have a great weekend! With gratitude- Mrs. Singletary
Calling all crafters! Do you own a Cricut? We’d love your help cutting out designs for a new bulletin board display. If this sounds like fun to you, please give the office a call to let us know.

End of Day Change of Plans
