Message From The Principal
Dear Solley Families,
The major focus of our School Improvement Plan
continues to be on READING. Our students meet in small
reading groups with their teacher to help work on skills that
will make them better at reading. Please make sure that you are
discussing what books they are reading in class and encourage
them to read on their own every night for 20-30 minutes.
Reading to your children is also a great way of helping them
become better readers. Remember to use the RAZ-Kids log in
that was provided to all students by our awesome PTA!
5th Grade students will be taking the new science test,
MISA, on March 6, 8, 9, and 12. This test helps determine how
much content students have retained over their 4th and 5th
grade years in science. Please make sure that they have a good
night sleep, a good breakfast, and arrive to school on time!
I want to congratulate Mrs. Duty and the dance team for their
amazing performance at the Anne Arundel County Dance Fes-
tival on February 8th. They represented our school in a way that
makes us all proud!
Beyond teaching reading, math, social studies, science
and the arts, we teach students about character. Each month we
choose a character trait and we emphasize it through lessons
and discussions within the classroom. One of the traits that is
often missing in our society is Kindness. The negativity that
surrounds us is pervasive. One of my favorite quotes is, “BE
KIND! For everyone you meet is fighting a battle that you
know nothing about!” Please take the time to sit with your
child and talk about some of the character traits they have been
learning about this year.
Mr. Haynie
