School Attendance Matters!
We know that the recent cold weather may make it tempting to keep your child at home. However, research shows that chronic absenteeism can have longterm effects on a child's educational experience. Please see the flier below for more information on absenteeism and its effects on school along with some tips for families.
Cold Weather Reminders
We want to remind you to please send your child to school with winter gear as needed. For recess, if the “feels like/wind chill” temperature is below 10° (at 9° or lower) or too rainy and wet, children will remain indoors. We follow weather.com for our forecast each day.
Here are a few suggestions:
Please dress your child appropriately for wet and snowy weather. They will not be allowed to play in the snow or wet equipment without a coat, gloves, hat, and snow pants. Typically, students who are not dressed appropriately will play on the blacktop only.
Please label your child’s winter gear.
Consider putting an extra pair of socks and pants in your child’s backpack in case they get wet at recess.
At 3:40pm, if the temperature is below 20° (at 19° or lower) we will dismiss walkers and car pick ups from the West Gym. We do this because on inclement weather days the car line increases and we want to minimize the amount of time students stand stationary outside. Thank you for your patience these days.
As always, contact our school office if you have any questions or concerns.

Parenting Through Puberty
WHEN: January 23 at 7pm at Springman
One of the most popular family/caregiver programs is back! Mark your calendar and invite a friend to join you on Tuesday, January 23, 2024 at 7:00pm in the Springman Wildcat Commons.
Do you wonder how to open the door for conversation with your child, who seems to be changing rapidly -- and responding with BIG emotions even more rapidly -- who communicates primarily through social media, and who seems to be evolving into someone you aren't sure you really know?
Do you need help finding ways to approach them so they actually listen?
You are not alone.
This presentation, by Dr. Renee Dominguez, co-executive director of Family Service Center and Lizzy Appleby, LCSW, of Youth Services, is designed to support parents in navigating some of the difficult topics of adolescence, including body changes, emerging sexuality, and increasing peer relationships. Parents will learn concrete strategies to support their child and practice skills to keep communication open.
Please fill out this form if you would like language interpretation for this program.

Their efforts centered around understanding our current standing by examining student achievement data, demographic information, survey results, and insights from the current strategic plan.
During this session, they conducted a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis to unearth the core attributes of our District and engaged in various activities aimed at formulating goals for the forthcoming strategic plan.
We value your input immensely as we progress further in this strategic planning journey. Your thoughts, ideas, and perspectives will significantly contribute to shaping the future of District 34.
