This quarter we will begin recognizing our Deep Run Rangers' report card successes in a few new ways. Students in grades one through five can earn one of two academic certificates. The awards and criteria are listed below and will be sent home in students' report card folders on Friday. We delay the opportunity for students to earn academic awards until first grade to allow our youngest learners time to adjust to school routines and expectations and learn more about the importance of report cards.

Another way students can be celebrated at report card time or any other time is through an Administrator Shout Out. Staff members can contact our administrative team to celebrate our students' academic success, growth, effort, or their modeling of our school expectations of being kind, engaged or responsible via a special note and/or visit. This is available to all of our students from preschool through fifth grade.

Parents, please take time this weekend to discuss your child's report card with them, celebrate their successes, and set goals for the second quarter. If you have any questions about this new initiative or if your child earned a certificate but did not receive one please feel free to contact any member of our administrative team.
