Message from Dr. TRESler and Mr. Hiel:
Dear Retriever Families,
We are looking forward to an enjoyable last two and one half weeks of the 2024-2025 school year! From our 5th grade promotion ceremony at Cedar Lane Park on June 5th, to the kindergarten show on June 13th, to our traditional clap out on the last day of school, these closing activities give us an opportunity to celebrate another school year. Students continue to be busy learning in all content areas and taking closing assessments. Please reinforce with your child that both learning and demonstrating the TREaSure Traits (respect, responsibility, care, and integrity) are important through the last moment of the school year and the bus ride home. Our last Retriever Report for this school year and our closing message will be sent on June 13th.
Warm Regards,
Dr. Tiffany TRESler, Principal
Kory Hiel, Assistant Principal

Counselors' Corner - A Message from Mrs. Wolf and Ms. Diaz
We still have 13 more days of school, but now is a great time to pause to reflect on growth and progress made during the 2024-2025 school year. Reflection and goal-setting are key elements of learning! What were some of the achievements made this year? What is an area to continue to persevere? With regard to academics, emotional regulation, physical movement, social development — In what fun ways can skills be maintained as we finish the year and head into the summer weeks? Talk about it and plan now as a family before the true summer 'daze' hit! Also, we'll have one more TRESmission video shared in our next (final) Retriever Report. Stay tuned!
