👋 Dear Booth Hill Families,

Our students have been diligently working through several key assessments this week including, but not limited to, iReady and DIBELS. These assessments are crucial in helping us understand each student's academic progress and identify areas where they might need additional support.

The iReady program provides comprehensive insights into students' performance in both reading and math, covering important domains like phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension. Our DIBELS assessments help us track critical early literacy skills, ensuring we can provide targeted interventions to support our students' reading development.

The past week has been particularly chilly, which has limited our outdoor recess time. We're hopeful that warmer temperatures will return this weekend, allowing our students to enjoy some much-needed outdoor play.

Speaking of excitement, this weekend will determine the teams competing in Super Bowl LVIX, which will be held on Sunday, February 9, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

Warm regards,

Kevin Chase

BHS Kids Heart Challenge Principal Challenge:

Our school is participating in the American Heart Association Kids Heart Challenge and I have taken the Principal’s Challenge! We are hopeful that at least 50% of our families will register for our Kids Heart Challenge team (directions below) as in years past!

To get a head start, sign up, to take the challenge at www.heart.org/khc or on the “Kids Heart Challenge” App!

Booth Hill School’s Kids Heart Challenge program (formerly known as Jump Rope for Heart) that is organized through our PE department will begin this coming Monday, January 27, and it will run until Friday, February 28. This program is something that we have done at our school dating back to 1980. We are very proud to be a “Heart Partner School” with the American Heart Association! We are excited to take a challenge for our hearts and our health throughout American Heart Month!

Thank you for joining our team of Heart Heroes. I know our school community can do this!

Aye, matey!

As a school community, we continually strive to promote regular attendance at Booth Hill. We welcome and appreciate open communication between school and home; therefore, please reach out if you need assistance with getting your child to school each day and in a timely fashion. Parent and school partnerships enable us to best support our students to ensure success at school.

"Chronically absent is defined as "a child who accumulated a total number of absences at any time during the school year that is equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the total number of days that such student has been enrolled at the school during the school year."
