Week of January 7, 2024
What's Up Next?
Happy Sunday!
We have made it to the seond half of this school year and we are ready to get back to the task at hand- helping all of our students acheive success. We hope that everyone enjoyed the holiday break and had a chance to relax and regroup. This coming week, our Kindergarten - Second grade students will be participating in our district benchmark assessments in the areas of reading and math. This will allow us to see how our students are peforming on the state required standards in their respective grade level across the distirct. Please encourage your child to conitnue to do his or her best.
We will also host our Academic Parent Teacher Team meetings, along with another opportunity to learn how to use our Parent Portal, this Tuesday, January 9, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. Please join us as we provide resources for you to use at home with your child to help continue strenghting skills of need in the areas of reading and/or math. We will also distribute our 2nd Nine Week report card to parents at the end of the session. Students that have a parent attend will recieve a dress down pass to use for this Friday.
Lastly, please be reminded that school starts at 8:15 a.m. Please make every effort to have your child arrive on time to school daily. Also, if your child is absent for any reason, please be sure to submit a doctor's excuse or parent written excuse the day your child returns back to school. We thank you for your continued support of our students and school.
Habit of the Week: Habit #4 – Think Win-Win!
Hey! It all begins with you. You must in the private victories first. That means you must take responsibility for your own life, feel confident, and secure. Then, you will start caring for others and their success as well without being bothered by it. After all, there is plenty of success to go around for all.
Family Activity: Think of an ongoing conflict that you tend to have with your child (homework, cleaning his or her room, laundry, etc.), and then discuss the possible solutions you could have and how it is a win-win for all.
Habit #4: Everyone can win!
