Principals' Message

Dear Margate Families,

ROARING TO

SUCCESS

Thomas J. Schroeder Principal

Vicki B. Flournoy Assistant Principal

Our mission at Margate Elementary School is to create a nurturing

environment so that our students will become independent, successful,

life-long learners by providing a high quality, differentiated, and innovative curriculum based on the

Florida State Standards.

It is hard to believe that we are in the final quarter of this school year. The year has certainly gone incredibly quickly and we still have much to accomplish. It is vitally important that we all work collaboratively to help support our panthers by continuing our well-established school-wide routines. We are so grateful to have the most active parents and thank you for continuing to support your children by assisting with homework, reading each evening for 30 minutes and utilizing IReady as much as possible.

This month, we are fully immersed in the testing season for our intermediate students. Our third grade students will be taking their Math FSA. Our fourth grade be taking both their English Language Arts/Reading and Mathematics FSA. Finally, our fifth grade students will be taking their English Language Arts/Reading, Mathematics and Science Assessments. If you have any questions regarding our FSA testing administration, please contact your child's teacher or the welcome center. Additionally, we have posted the day by day FSA Administration schedule on our website. Most importantly, we want our boys and girls to know that our only expectation for them regarding assessments is to do their best. We know that can achieve success, if and when they believe in themselves.
