Warrior Connection - February 15

I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. A little extra time in the middle of February is just what we need to recharge and push through these final weeks of winter. This stretch of the school year can feel long, but it is also a time when steady habits and positive attitudes make a big difference for our students.

This week, we are focusing on Random Acts of Kindness. At West Minico, kindness is not just a theme for a week—it is part of living the Warrior Way. A kind word, an encouraging note, holding a door, including someone at lunch—small actions can have a powerful impact. We encourage you to talk with your child about ways they can intentionally show kindness at school and at home. When we choose kindness, we strengthen our entire school community.

A reminder for our 6th grade parents: maturation permission slips were sent home and must be returned to your child’s advisory teacher, whether marked yes or no. If you have not seen this form, please ask your student about it.

We are now just one month away from parent-teacher conferences. This is a great time to check in on grades and assignments in PowerSchool. Regularly reviewing your student’s progress and having conversations at home about their learning helps prevent surprises later. Let’s continue working together to keep students on track and moving forward.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Daily attendance truly is the key to mastering reading, math, and social skills. When students are in school every day, they build consistency in learning, strengthen relationships with teachers and peers, and develop the habits that lead to long-term success. Even one or two missed days each month can add up quickly and create gaps that are hard to close. Every minute of instruction matters at West Minico, and we appreciate your partnership in making school attendance a priority. If your child is not feeling well, please communicate with the office, but whenever possible, let’s work together to ensure they are here, ready to learn, and growing each day.
