Dear Snowy Range Academy Families,

Hard to believe that this month we will reach our first quarter milestone of the school year. We have had a great first quarter here at SRA and we are so thankful to our entire school community for making it a success. 

During this first quarter, we have been busy not only teaching, but also engaging in important professional development. This last month, our staff completed CPR training, resulting in over 91% of staff having an active CPR certificate. We are committed to keeping students and staff safe whether it's in the classroom, on the playground or during an after-school activity. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the team at Ivinson Memorial Hospital who provided this training as well to our school nurse, Mrs. Lori Smith for getting it organized. 

As we move forward into the school year, our staff will be working on their literacy training, so that we can provide high-quality intervention to students, in alignment with the recent passage of SF59. One aspect of this legislation is creating and sharing Individual Reading Plans (IRPs) with parents if a student qualifies. If you have any questions about these, please do not hesitate to reach out to your student’s classroom teacher. 

Last, but not least, we look forward to seeing all of our parents at our upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences on October 28th and 29th. Conferences are a wonderful opportunity to connect one-on-one with your child's teacher(s), celebrate their growth this quarter, and talk through goals for the rest of the year. Watch for scheduling information coming home soon, and please plan to attend, as these are required by school policy and most importantly, your presence makes a real difference. 

Thank you for all of your support as we close out our first quarter. It's been a season of hard work, growth and building lasting knowledge. As always, my door is open. Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions, ideas or just to say hello.  

Your partner in education,
Caroline Hickerson
