Krueger Connection Newsletter

I hope your child will join us for our winter wonderland days. Dressing up is optional. Please make sure your child brings appropriate shoes for the days they have PE.

This week, we will have grade-level winter parties on Friday, December 15. If you do not have a fast pass and do not want to wait in line for your ID to be scanned through our Raptor system, consider stopping by the office now to have your ID scanned and receive a special pass for the day of the party. This applies to any other family members who may be attending the parties.

Our Krueger Winter Concert was phenomenal; the orchestra, strings, and choir did a fantastic job under the guidance of Ms. McCown. After-school programs like this are a great way to help your child build connection and community with their peers and teachers.

Believe it or not, this Friday, December 15th, will mark the end of the grading period. Report cards will be sent home after the winter break on Wednesday, January 10th and will be available in HAC. It is hard to believe we are at the middle of the year. I am so proud of their learning and growth.

Yours in Education

Mrs. Velasquez
