We have three students who have finished our new ST Math Program. " ST Math is mastery based, which means students must pass each level with a score of 100% (all puzzles correctly solved) before the next level in a sequence becomes available to them." We began this program in October. This is absolutely unbelievable! The representatives at ST Math were even amazed! Congratulations to Victoria, Matthew & Jorge! #STMATH

Dear Dateland Cougars,
Thank you for your participation in our recent survey about the Extended Day program at Dateland School. After carefully evaluating the input and concerns from parents, we have decided not to implement the Extended Day program for this current year.
To maintain our academic standards, we have restructured our schedules to provide more instructional time dedicated to core academics. As a result of these changes, some students may experience a slight increase in their homework assignments. Your involvement in supporting your child with these daily activities is essential for their success. We appreciate your time and effort in helping us uphold academic excellence while also allowing for more family time at home.
The Dateland staff is committed to providing the best for our families and students. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to support your child’s education!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Deborah Stewart
Superintendent
