Last week our students in third and fourth grade took the KPREP test and we couldn't be more proud of them. The children showed the grit and perseverance of champions. As many of you know our scores the last two years were not a true reflection of what Estes Elementary is all about. This year the challenge was given to both the teachers and the students to get our test scores to where it matches the learning that is happening in our school. We as a school know what are students are capable of doing, but now it is important for the state of Kentucky to recognize the learning that is happening at our school!
Estes Elementary knows what we do on a day to day basis goes beyond test scores. Estes Elementary teachers are preparing our students to be successful in life. We want our students to be problem solvers and be able to DIL (Discover, Improve and Learn) from their mistakes. We want our students to embrace failures and see them as learning experiences. We want our students to not settle for second best, but we want your children to feel like they can do anything they put their minds to.
Parents we want to say thank you for entrusting us to be the school that helps your children dream big and then go make their dreams come true.
We have two weeks of school left and we want to keep pushing your children to excellence. Please make sure they continue to come to school, so that we can help them make and fulfill their dreams.
