Happy Principal's Day! We appreciate all Mr. Adam's does for our school!
Last week our 5th Grade classrooms had an exceptional field trip to Idaho's State Capitol.
The PTO Fun Run is the next two days on Thursday and Friday! Please meet in the back of the field if you want to come watch or volunteer. No need to come into the office. Thank you for supporting the school and making this event a success! Students will be wearing their new WHITE FUN RUN Shirt! Thank you PTO!
Today students experienced our kickoff event to start raising funds for Star Elementary School. This program only lasts for ONE WEEK, so please register your student TODAY on MYBOOSTER.COM. Share your donation page with family and friends. Help us reach our $18,000 goal!

Parents, we want to hear from you!
Schools across the state are participating in Idaho’s custom, parent engagement survey. This survey gives you the chance to tell us how schools are doing in meeting your needs.
The survey takes only a few minutes, and your responses are anonymous, and they will be critical to helping us find ways to maximize satisfaction, engagement, and communication.
Make your voice heard! https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/204888/p31849
RESPOND BY March 17 - don’t wait!
Our Preschool learned about some of our community helpers. Thank you, Star Fire Department and Star Police, for coming to our school!

Today is School Bus Driver Day! We celebrate you!
Our Kindergarten Teachers look fabulous on the 100th day of school.

Meet our wonderful School Counselor, Emma Kennedy.
My name is Emma Kennedy. This is my 3rd year as an Elementary School Counselor and my 1st year at Star Elementary. I feel so lucky to work with the wonderful teachers and staff here at Star. The thing I love most about being a school counselor is that I get to help children. Being able to help students through big emotions and support them at school brings me so much joy. My hope is that all students feel safe and valued at our school.
I love all different types of foods, but I think my favorite is Mexican food. I love reading! I recently got a Kindle and I have been enjoying it. I like mystery, suspense, romance, biography, memoirs, and self-help books. I also really enjoy listening to podcasts. In my free time, I love spending time in the mountains, hiking, riding side by sides, paddle boarding, and going to concerts.
The City of Star, Star Police, and Star SRO are teaming up for this FREE Parenting Class! Register today using the link.
We need you! Be a part of this great team at Star!

It is National School Board Appreciation Month.
What is a School Board?
The local control of public education is one of the cornerstones of a free society. The School Board Trustees are your elected representatives. They establish the policies that govern the school district and appoint the District Superintendent. Individual members have no authority to act on their own. Instead, Board action is made during formal sessions. They receive no salaries or benefits.
We thank all our Board Members who represent the 5 Zones within our District.
A special THANK YOU to our Zone 4 Representative, David Binetti.
You may attend the Monthly Board meetings in person or watch virtually. Information about the monthly meetings can be found on our District homepage at "Board of Trustees" link.
