Dear Farmin Stidwell Families,
March is here, and with it comes a little more sunshine, hints of spring, and renewed energy in our classrooms. This time of year always brings excitement as we see both academic growth and brighter days ahead.
We are looking forward to Student-Led Conferences on March 6th. This is a special opportunity for your child to share their learning, reflect on progress, and celebrate growth with you. We are proud of the ownership our students take during this process and encourage all families to attend.
March also brings one of our favorite traditions — Crazy for Reading Week! We can’t wait to celebrate literacy in fun and engaging ways while continuing to build a strong love of reading across our school.
As we move through the month, our staff and students continue preparing for ISAT testing in late April. Our focus remains on strong instruction, active engagement, and helping students feel confident and prepared. Thank you for supporting consistent attendance and daily reading at home — it truly makes a difference. Keep working on those reading logs (due March 26) to earn Silverwood tickets.
Please also mark your calendars for Class Photos on March 25th and 26th. Times and the specifics will come from classroom teachers.
We will wrap up the third quarter with a Grading Day on March 27th, which kicks off our much-anticipated Spring Break -- March 30 - April 3. We hope your family enjoys a restful and refreshing week together.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. It is a joy to serve your children and watch them grow each day.
With appreciation,
Dr. Betsy Dalessio
Principal, Farmin Stidwell Elementary School
