Hi Families,
Our 3rd–5th grade students will begin state testing (SBAC) next week, April 27th–May 1st.
You can help set your child up for success by making sure they get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time each day, ready to go. These small steps make a big difference in helping students feel focused and confident.
We’ve been preparing all year, and this is a great opportunity for students to show what they know. We encourage everyone to simply do their best and take pride in their effort.
In addition, all students will be completing our end-of-year district Acadience and MAP assessments the week of May 4th.
Thank you for your continued support!
Take care,
-CD
Last night, RCAS celebrated the Evening of Excellence, recognizing the top 5% of graduating seniors for their outstanding academic achievements. A special part of the evening allows each student to honor a teacher who made a lasting impact on their educational journey—and we are proud to share that four of those students chose teachers from our Corral Drive community.
Mrs. Beckman was honored by Emma Kinyon, Mrs. Braun was honored by Kailee Olson, Mrs. Albrecht was honored by Aya Kuroiwa, and Mrs. Schroeder was honored by Madison Marsh.
This recognition speaks volumes about the lasting influence our teachers have on students—not just during their time at Corral Drive, but for years beyond. The relationships built, the encouragement given, and the foundation established in elementary school truly make a difference.
We are incredibly grateful to have such dedicated and impactful educators as part of our Corral Drive family. Thank you for the role you play in shaping the lives and futures of our students.
Congratulations as well to these outstanding students on earning the distinction of being in the top 5% of their graduating class. What an incredible accomplishment and reflection of their hard work, dedication, and perseverance.
Synergize means working together to achieve more than we could on our own. Our students showed this by collaborating with others, listening to different ideas, and contributing positively to their teams.
As we look ahead, our next focus will be on the habit Sharpen the Saw. This habit is all about taking care of ourselves—physically, socially, emotionally, and academically—so we can be our best each day. It reminds us of the importance of balance, rest, and continuous growth.
We are proud of these students for the leadership they are showing and the example they set for others.
It's time for Kindergarten registration!!
If your child will be 5 years old by September 1st, they will be eligible for the 2026-2027 school year!

RCAS Family Reading Night
Reminder: Spring Break 🌸
Spring Break will run from March 30th through April 6th. We hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing break!
We look forward to welcoming students back on April 7th. See you then! 😊
Parents. If you are ever waiting in the main office, feel free to fill out a quick "Shout Out" for your child's teacher or another staff member. They are located on the counter near Ms. Lisa. We deliver those to the teachers mailbox and it's always fun to get a nice note from our parents! Thanks!
As we wrapped up February, we recognized a group of students as our Leaders of the Pack for demonstrating the leadership habit “Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood.” This habit reminds us to listen carefully to others’ ideas and perspectives before sharing our own. These students showed great leadership by being thoughtful listeners, showing empathy, and making an effort to understand others.
As we move into our next habit of the month, “Synergize,” students will focus on the power of teamwork. Synergy means working together and valuing everyone’s ideas to create solutions that are even better than what one person could create alone. We’re excited to see our students continue to grow as leaders by collaborating, respecting different viewpoints, and supporting one another.
We are so excited for Garrett and hope he enjoys all the prizes. Thank you again to all of our families who supported the Book Blast and helped make it such a fun and successful event for our students.
Thank you to all of our families for supporting our Book Blast fundraiser! Because of your participation and generosity, we were able to raise enough funds to provide nearly 2,000 books for our students.
The best part? Every student at Corral Drive received at least two new books to take home and keep. There is nothing better than helping students build their own personal libraries and grow their love of reading.
It made the moment even more special that the books were delivered during Read Across America Week, which is all about celebrating reading and the joy that books bring.
Thank you again for partnering with us to support our students. Happy reading! 📖
As the weather continues to warm up and to ensure a smooth and safe dismissal, we ask that the playground remain clear from 2:45 to 2:55 PM. This allows students to safely walk or bike home, find their bus, or meet their ride without congestion or confusion.
Students who plan to play on the playground need to check in with their parent first and wait until 2:55 PM. At that time, they may return to the playground with parent supervision.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping dismissal safe and efficient for everyone!
It’s not too late to complete your Treasure Map, earn your prizes, and help your child’s teacher earn a shopping spree to purchase books and supplies for the classroom! When 60% of the classroom students register and invite 10+ friends and family members, that teacher will earn a $100 shopping spree. If 90% of the classroom invites 10+ friends and family members, the teacher will earn a $200 shopping spree.
