Brrrrrr...Winter is Here!

Metcalf School is proud to be a Feinstein Leadership School!

We are thankful to our wonderful & involved teachers, very supportive & generous parents, and thoughtful & kind students for all you do to help us reach out and accomplish so many good deeds as a school community.

Standards-Based Report Cards

You may now view your child’s first trimester Standards-Based Report Card through the Parent Portal in Aspen. You can easily print the report card if you prefer a hard copy. I have also included a link to the Parent Guide to Standards-Based Grading that was shared at each of the four Standards-Based Grading Workshops we held recently at Metcalf Elementary School. The Parent Guide will be a helpful resource to those who were unable to attend one of our workshops. This Parent Guide is also available on the Metcalf School website under the Parents Tab/Important Documents

Mighty Mustang Awards

Students may be coming home with a Mighty Mustang Award this trimester.  These awards were designed using input that was gathered last year from students, families, faculty, and staff.  The message was clear when we reviewed the input and analyzed it as a faculty.  Our shared goal is to recognize the many different facets of the children at Metcalf School, to promote a growth mindset, and to honor the whole child. We will recognize every Metcalf student at some point throughout the school year so all children will know we see that "something special" within them.

There's a Chill in the Air!

We try to go outside for recess every day so please be sure your child comes to school dressed for the cold weather. Don't forget, when there's snow on the ground they may bring their snow pants, boots, mittens, etc. so they can enjoy the winter wonderland!
