SEPTEMBER 26, 2025

It's hard to imagine we are already 6 weeks into the new school year.  It's been an incredible privilege to get to know your child(ren) better this year as we continue to move forward in middle school.

We are continuing a number of additional learning opportunities for our students and we are excited to gauge their success.  Our intervention program (Advisory) allows for 20 min at the end of every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for students to get help with assignments,  study for upcoming tests/quizzes, and enrich their learning in multiple ways.  Lunch and play (board games & cards), lunch and learn, and before-school Homework Help are also coming online to provide additional time and support to our students. Please encourage your child to take advantage of these opportunities throughout the year.

You can track your child’s progress in each course by checking the PowerSchool parent portal or by directly contacting your child’s teachers. The first grading period will end on October 24. Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for November 18 & 20. You will receive a communication in early November explaining the process to sign up for conferences.

As we move into October, please continue to encourage your child to do their best, do what’s right, and treat others as they would like to be treated.

I appreciate you taking the time to read our monthly newsletter. Please know that we are here to serve and support you and your student(s).
