A Message from the Admin Team

Dear Roadrunner Families,

Welcome back from Spring Break! We hope you all had a restful and enjoyable time. It's wonderful to have everyone back as we jump into a fun-filled final quarter.

This week has been filled with community building and enriching experiences. Our students participated in our April House Meeting, fostering connections and collaboration across all grade levels. Check out the photos to see some of the fun! It's heartening to see these bonds strengthen within our school. In addition, our 4th graders had a special field trip to the Kennedy Center to hear the National Symphony Orchestra.

Looking ahead, we’re excited about The World at Little Run tomorrow, April 26th, from 1:00 - 3:00 PM. This event celebrates the rich diversity of cultures within our community, and we invite everyone to join us for an afternoon of sharing and learning.

Sincerely,

Christie Yarn, Principal
Alison Butler, Assistant Principal
Little Run Elementary

Spring Attendance Challenge

We are excited to announce a school-wide Attendance Challenge! Each day, we will calculate the percentage of students present in each grade. The grade with the highest percentage of attendance each week will be celebrated for their achievement! This is a fun way to encourage all students to be present and engaged in their learning. Let's work together to make every day count!

Here's how our grades performed this week:

Kindergarten - 91%
1st Grade - 91%
2nd Grade - 97.5%
3rd Grade - 96%
4th Grade - 97%
5th Grade - 98%
6th Grade - 96%

A special congratulations to our 5th graders for achieving the highest attendance rate in our first week! Let's keep up the great work, everyone!

We're proud of our current 8.3% Chronic Absenteeism rate. Let's work together to ensure even stronger attendance this year!


Attendance

Perfect Attendance Achievers! Congratulations to these students for their outstanding commitment to being present and ready to learn in the 3rd quarter.

Social and Emotional Learning Screener: Parent Reports

Students in grades 3-12 took the SEL Screener during the month of March. The screener provides information on their SEL skills such as achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions. The screener also asks students how much their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.

Individual student SEL Screener results are available to families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. Families who do not have an active ParentVUE account will receive their results via postal mail.

For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the SEL Screener Results Family Guide or reach out to our school staff with any questions.
