November Monthly Update

The month of October was busy, it brought fall celebrations, homecoming, bullying month and drug free month and our annual fall festival. We sure did have a great time seeing and spending time with everyone at the fall festival! As we continue to step deeper into the holidays, we value your presence and your involvement.

Our first parent meeting will be November 4th from 4:15-4:45 in the cafeteria.

Please join us this week, November 8th for our Veteran's Day Assembly from 9:00-10:00.

Our priority this year is to Unleash our Extraordinary, this is to your student, your family and their learning. I ask that you continue to take the same vow with us to get the best out of this year.

Thank you for your dedication to your student's learning!

In Your Service,

Ms. Maxey

1) Ask your students about: ST Math and Zearn progress, ask them what their goals are. Please communicate with their teachers and be sure you know how they are progressing and if they are meeting their daily requirements.

2) Ask you students about: Writing using sentence stems and preparing short and long constructed responses. Ask them what they are reading about and how are they learning how to show text evidence in writing across all curriculums.

3) Grades and online courses continue to check daily or at least weekly!

4) High School Parents: Take a look at all of the opportunities for Scholarships and have your student practice online for ACT Prep materials! Students will ACT test in December!
