Dear Dragons,

March is here, and with it comes an exciting month full of activities and milestones at our school! We have a late start tomorrow, and our 1st, 2nd, and 4th graders will shine in their music programs on March 6th. Class pictures are scheduled for March 12th, so get those smiles ready! As we prepare to welcome spring, we also have Spring Break from March 17th-21st, giving our students a well-deserved rest. Don’t forget that Daylight Savings Time begins on March 9th—adjusting sleep schedules a few days ahead can help students transition smoothly. Later in the month, we will celebrate our hardworking students at the Academic All-Star Breakfast on March 28th. While we continue working toward our end-of-year goals, we’re also preparing for CMAS testing in April for grades 3, 4, and 5. It’s a busy and exciting time, and we look forward to all that this month has to offer—including the arrival of spring! Thank you for your continued support!! GO DRAGONS!

Warm regards,

Lori Peeples

Principal, Sanborn Elementary

CMAS INFORMATION:  This April Colorado students will take end-of-year assessments called CMAS or Colorado Measures of Academic Success. Students in grades 3-8 will take English language arts and math tests. Students in grades 5, 8 and 11 will take science tests. CMAS tests measure student progress on the Colorado Academic Standards, which outline what students should understand, know and be able to do at each grade level and in each content area. CMAS data helps determine if educational goals are being met and if students are on track to graduate prepared for college and career. With this assessment, we can improve instruction for all students and parents can gain important insights.  We will be sending a letter home for the families of the testing grades that will have the CMAS Schedule to see the states and times your child’s grade(s) will be testing. Makeup testing and missed instruction can be avoided by scheduling appointments and vacations for non-testing days and by ensuring that your student arrives at school on time. Your support is appreciated.  Student practice resources can be found here: https://coassessments.com/practice-resources/

Fostering Creativity, Problem-Solving, and Entrepreneurial Thinking

Creativity and problem-solving skills are essential for success in today’s world—especially in entrepreneurial pursuits where innovation and adaptability are key. You can help cultivate these abilities at home by encouraging your child to think like a problem-solver and creator. Engage them in activities like designing inventions, starting a small project or business (like a lemonade stand), or brainstorming solutions to everyday challenges. Ask open-ended questions that inspire them to explore different perspectives and develop innovative ideas. Providing them with the freedom to experiment, take risks, and learn from mistakes builds resilience and confidence—key traits of successful entrepreneurs. By nurturing their creativity and critical thinking, you’re empowering them to become resourceful, forward-thinking individuals ready to tackle any opportunity or challenge.
