Dear Breckenridge Families,

Welcome back to the 2018-19 school year! Custodial staff, administration and classroom teachers are all busy preparing for a great school year. Many exciting things are happening this year that will help each student excel and reach his or her fullest potential. A few of the highlights include:

• 7^th and 8^th grade have moved to the high school building.  This has allowed us to spread out and create some additional learning spaces for projects, technology activities, group work, and much more!
• 21^st Century Learning and Active classrooms continue to be our focus throughout the school day to increase student engagement and active learning opportunities for our K-6^th grade students. 
• Literacy Academy’s approach to creating an intrinsic motivation to read and increasing student engagement in reading lessons will continue through the gradual release of responsibility model in our reading instruction.
• Math curriculum went through a review process this past year that lead us to a new curriculum that focuses on a deep learning of math through a conceptual framework and building a strong foundation in math.   

Sincerely,

Mrs. Corinna Erickson
K-6 Principal
