* Click here for directions on how to print parent letters if you want students to practice at home.  This is best for Tier 2 & 3 students. See Stephanie Brown if you need help. Remember...parents can see their child's Tier once they log on.  It is therefore recommended you share this information at conferences.

Feedback on Gold Rush Belief Statements:

Jenny combined belief statements from the core team that opened Gold Rush, all teachers' reading beliefs and the leadership team's dream statements created this summer into four primary belief statements for our school that will be posted on our website.  Please feel free to email feedback and suggestions to Jenny so that they accurately reflect our school.
