It was wonderful to see so many of you in the building the past few weeks for all of the year end activities. I would like to thank our dedicated and devoted teachers, secretaries, aides, parapros - you name it - everyone worked overtime to ensure that these culminating activities were memorable for our students. As always, thank you for entrusting us with your child’s elementary education. On behalf of the entire Three Fires Staff, we appreciate your commitment to our school family and look forward to next year. I wish all of you a relaxing, rejuvenating, and restful summer! I hope it's packed with abundant sunshine, s'mores, vacations, and time with your family and friends! I'm so proud to be part of the best pack in town! See you in August.
- Mr. Starkey
Family Perception Survey
If you haven’t already done so, please take time to complete our annual Family Perception Survey. Superintendent MacGregor shared the link last week and the link is included below. Complete one survey for each school that you have a child attending. The survey will help us as we continue to improve Three Fires to meet the needs of all of our students. The survey will close on Friday, June 10, at 5 p.m. To complete the survey, please visit https://bit.ly/3N8QTc9.
