Red Raider Review: Family Edition

Dear Parents and Guardians,

On behalf of the entire staff at Earlville JH/HS, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for attending our recent Parent-Teacher Conferences. Your participation in these meetings demonstrates a strong commitment to your child's academic growth and development.

We believe that education is a partnership between home and school, and your involvement plays a key role in helping us better understand how to support your child. The insights shared during these conferences allow us to work together more effectively in creating a learning environment that encourages success.

We are grateful for your ongoing support and engagement. Should you have any further questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Together, we can ensure that your child has the tools they need to thrive academically and personally.

Thank you once again for your time and commitment to our school community.

Warm regards,
Mrs. Fruit

Move This World Family Resources

We use this in our Academy classes. We purchased the Family account if you would like to log in and explore.

Dear Families,

To support our students’ social emotional needs and mental health, we are using a video-based social emotional learning (SEL) curriculum from Move This World. I’m excited to share that you’ll be able to access this helpful curriculum at home, too!

Social emotional learning is how students learn to process and manage emotions as well as important social skills. It includes everything from goal setting to stress management, and it provides both children and adults with tools they can use to express themselves authentically and safely. SEL helps students build healthy relationships, communicate effectively, and live a meaningful life.

Coffee with the Principal:

OCTOBER IS CANCELED

Please mark your calendars for the last Friday of every month (except holidays) for our monthly Parent Coffee Chats with the Principal. Each month we will have a guest speaker or a specific topic to discuss. These are informal meetings where you can bring your questions for the Principal in an open forum. Parent Coffee Chats will be on the last Friday of each month (unless otherwise noted) from 8:30–9:30 a.m. The Parent-Principal Chats provide parents with monthly opportunities to meet with the principal as a group to discuss topics, initiatives, and issues related to student learning at the schoolwide level. The Chats are a two-way exchange whereby families and school leaders listen, learn, solve problems, and share information with each other. Every month will have a theme that is based on the feedback from the survey.
