We have almost made it! One more week until Spring Break. We are INCREDIBLY proud of our Wolves and all they have done this year in and outside the classroom. From increased attendance across the board, to working hard this past week at the ACT, organizing and leading events like the Women's History Panel, thriving athletics and activities, it has been a fantastic year.

Last week our incredible scholar's in Ms. Kenney's Women's Studies class helped organize, and lead our 2nd Annual Women's History Panel.

Following the panel discussion the students from Ms. Kenney's class and others that signed up in FlexiSched were able to participate in a in depth conversation with panelist.

This week we are excited for students and staff alike to participate in our Women's History Month dress up week, starting tomorrow with Be Comfortable in your Own Skin- PAJAMA DAY! Students don't forget to sign up for self defense in Flexi for Wednesday.

This week we will host our annual student/staff basketball game for a community celebration heading into Spring Break. It will also be a time to acknowledge many of the achievements of our incredible scholars so far this year.

It's hard to believe but 3rd quarter is drawing to a close. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT GRADING DEADLINE for ALL STUDENT ATHLETES AND ACTIVITIES PARTICIPANTS.

• The quarter ends the Tuesday we return from break, Tuesday, April 1st.
• Any student earning an F during that progress report that is participating in a Spring sport or currently in an activity will receive an AUTOMATIC 15 SCHOOL DAY suspension!
• Even if you complete the assignments or improve the grade after its posted, it will not change the suspension, this is a WIAA rule.
• This includes SP30.

Did you know that our students partner with Tim O'Brien homes to build a house in our community. The kids work hard and play hard.

The Algebra 1 students worked in teams to figure out the largest area for a garden where only 32 feet of fencing could be used. This was the first day of their quadratics unit, and they were able to use prior knowledge to make a quadratic equation, table, and graph!

Geometry students worked for the “shape factory” and fulfilled orders based on the information given. Then they kept track to “win” the most business

New Year, Same Supports! We’re excited to share some updates to our before and after school tutoring support program to better support your learning:

• Afternoon Study Lounge Relocated: The afternoon study hall has been moved to a new space—the Library—to provide a more focused and resource-rich environment.

• Additional Teacher Support: We’ve added more teachers to our tutoring sessions to ensure students get the help they need.

Be sure to take advantage of these new changes and set yourself up for success this year!

Let’s make this a fantastic year of learning and growth!

We need YOUR input too! Do you have an idea of something that should be included in the Howl? Your ideas are always welcome. Email our Admin Associate to the Principal, Jordain Blank at jnblank@sunprairieschools.org.
