Principal’s Message
Dear Panther Lake Families,
I hope this message finds you rested, refreshed, and full of wonderful memories from your Thanksgiving break. It was lovely to have a few days to pause and appreciate all the good things in our lives, and now we are excited to welcome our students back to school this week!
Attendance: Every Day Counts!
As we transition into the final few weeks before the Winter Holiday break, I want to emphasize how incredibly important daily attendance is right now. We only have three short weeks of instruction before the holidays, and every single learning moment is critical. Consistent attendance ensures that your child doesn't miss key concepts that build the foundation for future learning. Please help us by ensuring your student is on time and present every day from now until December 22nd.
Upcoming FAST Progress Monitoring Assessment
During the first week of December, our students will be taking the 2nd FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) progress monitoring assessment. This assessment is a valuable tool that provides us with a snapshot of your child’s progress in reading and math so far this year.
Please know that this is not a test your child needs to "study" for. Instead, the data we collect from this 2nd administration of FAST is essential. It will be used by our teachers to personalize instruction, pinpoint areas where students need extra support, and shape our curriculum for the entire second half of the school year. Ensuring your child is well-rested and prepared to put forth their best effort is the most helpful way you can support them during this time.
We are so grateful for your continued partnership and look forward to a fantastic, focused few weeks of learning leading up to the holidays.
Warmly,
Dr. Christine Szymanski
Principal, Panther Lake Elementary
