Thank you for all you do in keeping our school community safe. We are asking parents/guardians to please send your child to school with their own face masks. Our supply is fastly dwindling and is used for emergency purposes only.

This Week in Sports
There is no after-school programming for any teams from January 10th-14th. We will send updates regarding sports or after-school programming as we know it.
Teaching and Learning Updates
Students will take their midyear iReady math and reading tests this week and next week. Please encourage your child to try their best. This is an assessment used to measure student performance compared to their grade level of placement so that we can make sure we have systems in place to support learning gaps.

Counseling Department
As we enter this spring semester, daily school attendance is more important than ever. Here is some helpful information from Attendance Works:
Did You Know?
• Many absences, even in kindergarten, can cause children to fall behind in school.
• Missing just a day or two every month can make it harder to learn to read by the third grade.
• Students with too many absences struggle to catch up, even with take-home assignments.
• All families have hopes and dreams for their children. Being in school every day will enable children to do well in school, and graduate from high school ready for work or college.
What Can You Do?
• Develop a regular bedtime and morning routine.
• Help your child lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
• Make sure your child has the required shots before school starts.
• Avoid missing school unless a child is truly sick and seek help if chronic illness is a challenge. Check with our school nurse or office staff if you are not sure about when to keep your child at home due to illness.
• If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors, or other families for advice on how to make her feel comfortable and excited about learning.
• Reach out to a family member, a neighbor, or another parent if you are having trouble getting your student to school.
• Arrange medical appointments when school is not in session.
• Avoid extended vacations when school is in session.
