Family Newsletter for the Week of 10/30/23

Thank you for attending Parent Teacher Conferences

Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to attend Parent Teacher Conferences last week. We enjoyed being able to share your child's successes with you. If you were unable to attend conferences, we will be sending home the packets that were prepared with your child. Packets include M-Step and NWEA test results, Marking Period 1 Report Card and any unfinished paperwork.

What a Celebration!!!

We spent the half day on Friday celebrating our student achievements in several different ways. Students earned different rewards as part of our PBIS program. Students that earned high marks for Citizenship were able to paint pumpkins in the morning. Students that had remaining Responsibility passes were able to enjoy a snack of their choice. And finally, students that did not have any missing assignments for the first week of Marking Period 2 were able to watch a Halloween movie in the auditorium. It was a busy day packed full of fun.
