πMessage From Principal Haugens
Dear Parents,
Next week will be the last week of January. It is amazing how fast this month flew by. We have been very pleased with how students are being Respectful, Responsible, and Caring and showing what it means to #LeadLikeAJaguar. In a world where you can be anything, choose to be KIND!
Pop Tab War: Next week is the last week to bring in Pop Tabs to support the Ronald McDonald House. The grade level that brings in the most Pop Tabs will win. Stay tuned to find out the winner next week.
Student Council SOUPer Bowl Canned Food Drive: The Student Council SOUPer Bowl Canned Food Drive will began next week. Students place their canned goods in the TEAM box located in the front lobby? Each item will count as one vote for their favorite team (Ravens/Chiefs or Lions/49ers)!
CogAT Assessment: In February, Bloomingdale School District 13 schools will administer the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) in place of the previously administered OLSAT (Otis-Lennon School Abilities Test) to students grades 1-6. Click here to view more information about the assessment.
Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Caring
