IGNITE's Weekly Newsletter for Feb. 5-9, 2024
Greetings IGNITE Family,
We are excited for another week of teaching and learning at THE IGNITE Middle School!
Greetings parents, scholars, colleagues and community partners. We had our second SBDM meeting for the 2023-2024 academic year last week and it was great to share all the accomplishments we have seen here at IGNITE. Parents, please know that we cannot do this work without your support.
We have several different assessment coming up in February, so it is essential that all scholars are present. We want to make sure that we individualize opportunities for each scholar to meet their needs specifically, so that they are successful. Please ask your scholars where they are performing as it pertains to MEETS, MASTERS, APPROACHES, OR DOES NOT MEET. Each core teacher is communicating this with scholars regularly so that they know where they are and what they need to get to the next level.
Parents, please be reminded that our doors open at 8:05 and school starts at 8:35. As the weather changes, we want to ensure the safety of our scholars. We will open the doors as early as 7:35 on days that is is raining and/or days that temperatures are really low.
As we embark on this journey towards academic success, it is important that we are all on the same page and are delivering the same message to scholars. We are one family, with one goal. Thank you for trusting us with your most valued possession. Together, we will help our scholars discover their superpowers.
We Are IGNITE!
ONE TEAM, ONE GOAL.

Counselor's Corner
National School Counseling Week 2024 (Feb. 5-9)
Sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), highlights the essential contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and the tremendous impact they have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. School counselors help students in more ways than you may know. This week we celebrate them as a part of National School Counseling Week 2024. Every student deserves a school counselor to help with academic achievement strategies, managing emotions, applying interpersonal skills, and planning for postsecondary options. School counselors are Standards-Based and Student-Focused. When administrators, teachers, school counselors and other mental health professionals collaborate, students succeed.
