Dear Huskie Community,

We are quickly moving towards the conclusion of the semester. I want to provide a reminder about a few building supports that students can access any time. The first is WIN (What I Need) that occurs each week. Students can select the teacher they want to visit to receive support during the WIN period. They can visit a support session for any reason but a few popular options are: intervention on a specific skill or standard, making up a missed assignment, support in completing an assignment, or preparing for an upcoming assessment. Another support option is our lunch time peer tutoring program. Students can stop by the Literacy Center during any lunch period to receive support from peers on a given subject area. This is a terrific option for many students. Please encourage your students to take advantage of these options should the need arise.

Included in the topics below is information on Focus 203. I would like to invite you attend one or both of these sessions. The first session topic is a deep dive on profile of a learner. The second topic is innovative school day. We hope to receive your feedback on both topics including our potential new bell schedule

I hope you have a great week. Go Huskies!!

Sincerely,

Jay Wachtel

Winter Sport Tryouts & Practices

Winter sport tryouts and practices are just around the corner, with staggered start dates for different teams. The attached infographics include all tryout and first-day practice times and locations for each sport.

A friendly reminder: to participate on the first day of practice or tryouts, student-athletes must be registered on Snap8to18 and have an up-to-date physical on file with the Athletic Department. Please be sure to complete these requirements before tryouts begin!
