I hope that you had a wonderful Spring Break! Can you believe we are in the final weeks of school?! It’s been such a great year, and I am excited for you a you finish up this school year strong and ready for summer! The next few weeks will go by quickly, so stay focused on your goals!
Now that MAP is over, I am sure that you are wondering, “Now what?” Please make sure to have a discussion with your student about where he/she started this year, and now where he/she is ending the year. They should be able to tell you about how the growth was achieved and where focus should be placed to grow for the next school year. In addition, it’s really important to focus on SCReady for the next three weeks!
SCReady Writing begins on Wednesday! Please make sure that your student gets plenty of rest the night before, has a good breakfast in the morning, and that he/she arrives with a positive mindset and determination to do his/her best. It is not timed, so please encourage him/her to take all the time he/she needs in order to be successful!
The other SCReady tests are outlined in this newsletter, so please be sure and save the dates, along with our other final school activities for the year!
Have a great week!
Dr. Persinski

As Falcons, we don't want to just "meet the requirement" as student-athletes. We want to raise the bar! Coming soon will be new guidelines for all student-athletes, no matter the sport. Our Falcons will SOAR, and they will show their Falcon Pride through their academic excellence and sportsmanship.
S-Sportsmanship
O-Ownership
A-Academics and Attendance
R-Represent as Role Models
Falcons will be required to hold at least a C in classes; Bs and As are preferred. Should a student drop below a C in any class, then tutoring will be required instead of practice. Students will not be penalized for attending tutoring. Students are expected to attend school and meet attendance requirements, and they should show exemplary behavior in class.
Academics, attendance and behavior will be checked weekly.
As Falcons, we believe that Academics comes first, and student-athletes are role models for all. Falcons represent Sullivan as proud, outstanding student-athletes who will be ready to meet the next level of expectations in high school and beyond.
