Fall Fundraiser

Our big fundraiser is going on until October 3!! 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

School is like a puzzle—every lesson is a piece. Missing even a few pieces can make the picture incomplete. Daily attendance ensures your child has all the pieces they need to understand new concepts and stay on track.

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

Boost fluency by rereading! Have your child read a short page or poem aloud more than once. Repetition builds confidence and smoother reading.

Math Tip of the Week

Ask your child to find patterns. Numbers, shapes, and even nature are full of patterns—spotting them sharpens math thinking.
 

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.
