Happy Friday, Everitt families!

It has been a fun and busy week at Everitt. Our crews are well underway and developing a strong sense of community thanks to the hard work of our students and crew leaders.

Clubs begin next week! Below you can find a list of the available clubs. We are looking for a parent who has a cosmetology background to help run a cosmetology club. Students have expressed a lot of interest in learning more about cosmetology. Please reach out if you can help.

Our first Thursday late start day went pretty well this week. Remember that students are not required to attend school until 9:55 on Thursdays. We will provide supervision for students who ride the bus and students who must attend due to family schedules. Our teachers were able to do some great thinking together on Thursday morning and we are grateful for the time.

I want to tell you how proud I am of our students. Our friends from Lifetouch who came to take their school photos this week were so impressed with their kindness and respect. They said that they were the most respectful students they have seen…and of course they are! You, their families, encourage and inspire them to take responsibility for themselves and to take care of the people around them. And they step up and do so.

I am also so proud of the way that they are tackling MAP testing so far. They are taking their time, doing their best, and really showing themselves and their teachers what they know and are able to do. Their MAP results will tell them what their strengths are and where they can grow as a reader and a mathematician. We will share their results with you and with them and will use the results to better know what their next steps are as a learner. Thank you for helping them make sure their chromebooks are charged before school, especially on testing days. We will work on the math MAP tests on Monday and Tuesday next week.

Thank you for supporting and believing in your neighborhood school. It is our privilege to partner with you!
