Principal’s Update & Important Dates
This spring, LaunchED students will have the chance to showcase their academic achievements through a series of assessments. These include the state assessments (CMAS, PSAT, & SAT) in the coming weeks, followed by the i-Ready assessment later in the season.
These assessments are valuable tools that allow students to demonstrate their learning progress throughout the year. The data we gather helps us improve instruction and celebrate each student’s growth.
If you have any questions about these assessments or your child’s participation, please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone or email. Our students are incredible learners and we know they have so much to show the world!

LaunchED Picture of the Week
Our LaunchED Picture of the week is to announce that the Chicken Channel is ready to go this year! The Chicken Channel is a live feed documenting the incubating eggs at the LaunchED office that any of our students and families can watch, but especially for our K/1 students who are learning about the life cycles of chickens as part of a science unit right now!
You can view the Chicken Channel at this live link throughout the 21 day hatching cycle–we will include fun trivia, some eggs-cellent jokes and more! https://live.myvrspot.com/st?cid=NDlhYj
