Dear ChurchillCSD Families & Staff,

As we wrap up our first week of the school year, I want to extend my deepest appreciation to everyone in our community. The energy, enthusiasm, and dedication each of you has brought to our schools have been truly inspiring.

A special shout-out to our teachers, staff, students, and families for making this first week smooth and successful. I know it takes a lot of hard work, especially as we navigate the excitement and challenges that come with the start of a new school year.

We are excited to welcome our kindergarten and pre-kindergarten students to their first day of school TOMORROW! We can’t wait to see their bright faces and begin their educational journey with us.

Thank you again for your hard work, patience, and commitment to our students. I’m looking forward to a wonderful year ahead filled with growth, learning, and success for all!

With gratitude,
Derild Parsons

Superintendent

First Week of School Highlights 🎉

CCHS

Students and staff gathered in the gym on the morning of August 15 to officially kick off the 2024-2025 school year. The fall sports teams were announced and introduced to the school. The CCHS cheer team also performed and led the school in the fight song. In addition, students who received perfect attendance, and students who made the honor roll for the Spring 2024 semester were also recognized and awarded certificates for their achievements. 32 students had perfect attendance, and 211 students had a 3.5 GPA or higher.

Wednesday, August 14, the administrative team had the opportunity to welcome all the students by independent grade level to our initial assembly of the school year. This gave us the chance to introduce ourselves, discuss school policies and procedures, explain the academic goals for the year, share all the positivity occurring in the school, and begin to build student relationships. Students are excited about this coming school year, and we look forward to seeing the growth and gains that will occur. Fostering environments centered around academic growth and social-emotional support is paramount to our administrative leadership priorities this year. The assembly was a great success in allowing the administrative team to talk a little bit about themselves, how they got into education, and what support they would provide for the staff, students, and families for the upcoming school year.

Numa

On the first morning of school, each Numa class took a tour and stopped at six different SOAR stations to review the school-wide standard operating procedures (SOPs). Then at the end of the week, students participated in Show Your Class Assemblies. Numa's theme this year is "Stay Classy". During the first week of school, each class worked together to decide how they planned to "Show Their Class" this year. At the assembly, each grade level showed the school their presentations. Students talked about following our SOAR motto, being kind, having teamwork, and some classes even put together skits to show how to follow our SOAR procedures.

E.C. Best

Second-grade students in Mrs. Lister's class did a, "Getting to know you with play dough" activity! Students used playdough to represent something they liked to do or something about themselves!

Lahontan

On the first day of school, first-grade students in Mrs. Chappell's class took a safari around the school. They were on the lookout for animals as they learned where the office, library, and bathrooms were. This is a fun and exciting way to remind returning students where everything is at in the school and to teach new students where everything is.

Note from Assistant Superintendent Stacey Cooper ✍🏻

Welcome back ChurchillCSD students, families, and staff!

Our schools immediately started the week with an “all hands on deck” attitude toward learning! I had the opportunity to visit all of our schools, and every site was fully engaged in active, student-led learning! Our teachers value the importance of student growth and wasted no time getting our students engaged.

At EC Best, Ms. Youles collaborated with her students to develop their class vision for learning! This great activity exemplified our focus on the Learner-Centered Framework by creating student buy-in on the trajectory and goals for the classroom. Way to go Mrs. Youles!

Meanwhile, at Numa, our students created a foundation of trust and connection through restorative circles. In Ms. Strasdin's classroom, students honored respect and active listening to create a culture of trust amongst their peers. Yet another example of excellent engagement during the first few days of school!

Lastly, Mr. Finch's math class was hard at work, solving mind-bending math puzzles using crayons. Overall, our first week was busy with active engagement and learning for all!

I am excited to commence my second year as assistant superintendent, increasing our focus on instructional growth, and academic accountability, and enhancing our learner-centered framework. We have amazing teachers, phenomenal students, and a fabulous community! I look forward to another year of Greenwave sporting events, classroom visits, and active engagement in the success of our community and school district! Here is to a fabulous 2024-2025 school year!

IMPORTANT Health Services Information

Respiratory Illness

With the beginning of a new school year, and the close contact we have with one another, brings respiratory illnesses; Influenza (Flu), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and COVID-19.

Symptoms of all three are very similar, which makes it hard to distinguish between these illnesses. Therefore, if you think your child may have one of these respiratory illnesses, please get them tested by a healthcare provider so we can prevent the spread in our schools and community.
