Skyhawk Families,

As things continue to shift and change as we move into September and further into the first quarter of learning for your scholar, we thank our Skyhawk families for patience, hard work, and care. We could not have launched the start of this school year without any of those things from our families and hope that you felt the same from us!

We want to continue to hear your voices. We can't grow and get better for your scholars without your help. Take this survey to provide feedback on the SLA experience - https://forms.gle/CreSyEcCyW157MeTA .

Lastly, we will continue to ask for your patience and care as we move into this next phase of school launch this year. Thank you for completing your learning choice surveys - it will allow us to make the most efficient and safe learning experiences for each of your scholars.

With Scholars First,

Ms. Oviatt, Primary Director

Ms. Miller, Middle School Director

Mrs. McDaniel, High School Director

Mr. Smith, Operations Director

• Kindergarten: September 21st
• 1st, 2nd, 6th, 9th, 12th Grades: September 28th
• 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th Grades: October 5th

If you chose the hybrid option, you will be notified of your scholar's schedule before their return date. Scholars will remain 100% virtual until their return date. For scholars that chose Remote Learning, no schedule changes will occur.

Schedule and teacher changes are being worked on and finalized next week as we break down the parent survey results. You and your scholar will know their new teacher and/or schedule shortly after that!

Each year we are required to survey our families to determine which Uplift scholars may qualify for additional services and support through our Families in Transition program. This program provides real benefits to families who may be facing housing insecurity or economic challenges. If you have not had a chance to fill out this survey yet, please do so now! You can access it below and it only takes a few moments to complete. This information will be used only to determine if your scholar qualifies for services and support within our Families in Transition program and is not reported elsewhere. Thank you for your help!

Scholars will continue to log-in to their teacher's Schoology page at 7:55am every day.

All scholars and grade levels will adhere to the following full day schedule--

(NEW) PROGRESS REPORTS & SUBMITTING WORK

Teachers are working hard to finalize our first round of progress reports to send no later than Monday, Sept. 21st. Please ensure that your scholars have all of their work submitted so that their grades accurately reflect their effort. Please reach out to your scholar's teacher if you need any assistance submitting grades.

(NEW) MAP TESTING

Scholars will continue MAP testing this week during the afternoon from 1-3:30pm. Please make sure scholars are working on this assessment independently so that we can get an accurate picture of what they know without any parent support. We will use this data to create scholar goals and support their needs during the year. Stay tuned to communication from your scholar's teacher for details on which test they will be taking.

(NEW) Independent Work Time

On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday your scholar engages in "Independent Work Time" from 3-4 pm and on from 2-3 pm on Wednesday. Below is a one-pager to help you and your scholar know what they should be working on during this time.

(NEW) Middle School Grading Policy

Below is grading policy from Uplift, with the added Summit MS grading policies. Please review and let your scholar's advisory teacher know if you have any questions.

(NEW) Road to College and Career newsletter

Check out the first edition of the RTCC newsletter! This newsletter has detailed information about academic support, success, and resources for each grade level. Click this link or see attached. http://bit.ly/rtccnewsletter1

(NEW) High School Attendance

Uplift Summit had the best high school attendance in August! However, we're starting to see attendance decline this past week. Help us reach our goal of 100% by asking your scholar to log into Schoology show you what they completed in class for the day. Scholars must log into each class daily to get credit for attendance.

(REPEAT) High School Supply Pick Up

If you missed the school supply pick up, feel free to visit the High School office 8:30-3:00 Monday through Friday.
