Fall Fundraiser

Our big fundraiser starts today!! Our goal is to raise $15,000.00 for Student Incentives + Teacher and Classroom Needs.
We are asking ALL parents to pre-register their student(s) here:
Make sure you use Group Code: 4EVV3
Please get at least one person to support our fundraiser before our official kick-off day. Any student that is registered and adds 10 contacts will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win over 1,000 prizes. How cool would it be if we took a chunk out of our goal BEFORE the fundraiser even starts?

Attendance Tip of the Week

Every school day is a building block. When students attend daily, they gain knowledge step by step without gaps in learning. Even one or two missed lessons can make it harder to follow along the next day. Consistent attendance ensures your child grows steadily and confidently.

Students will not earn the PBIS incentive, The Boo Bash, if they have more than 18 hours of unexcused hours this quarter.

Students are considered excessively absent in a school year when they miss 38 hours in a month or 65 hours in a school year. This includes both excused and unexcused hours. 

Students are considered habitually truant if they miss 42 hours in a month or 72 hours in a school year. This includes only unexcused hours.

Reading Tip of the Week

Help your child connect reading to real life. Ask: 'Does this remind you of something that happened to you?' or 'Have you read another book like this?'

Math Tip of the Week

Encourage estimation. “About how many apples do you think will fit in this bag?” Estimating strengthens number sense.
 

PBIS Expectations

Did you know that PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports? As a school, we have school wide PBIS expectations throughout the building. You may hear your student talking about these things.
