Cunningham MS at South Park

Hello, Wolves.

One more month of the 25-26 school year to go! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. Attendance is crucial these last four weeks. Please show up because we still have lots of learning going on. We have our Wolf Attendance Race happening this month. The grade level with the best attendance will earn a pizza party at the end of the school year. So, remember that attendance matters every day!

We also have our end-of-year testing these next two weeks. MAP Testing is this week in Math, Reading, and Science. Please see the attached schedule below. I also want to encourage you to have conversations with your child to ensure that we are following all campus policies and procedures on campus. We need to finish strong, Wolves!

Lastly, we have lots of awards celebrations scheduled, so please see the flyers below and on the Facebook page/website and be on the look out for the invitations. We have so much to celebrate from this school year.

Thank-you for your continued support.

We are moving forward with 1:1 Chromebook implementation for the 26-27 school year for all campuses. Student's will keep the Chromebook issued to them. This ensures they have a device with them every period of the day, just like textbooks in the past. Our Wolves will be expected to bring their Chromebooks home daily, charged, and ready to go! We'll share more information and expectations as we approach summer.

Parents, please help us ensure your student is following the district's clear backpack policy. To maintain a safe and secure learning environment, all students must use a clear backpack each day. Non-clear backpacks will be confiscated for the day and returned to the student after school. To avoid any issues, please check your student's backpack before they leave for school and remind them of this policy. You can already start looking to purchase a clear backpack for next school year...it needs to be sturdy to hold their Chromebook and binder.

A reminder to stay in dress code and know that we are enforcing the dress code. If a student is out of dress code, they will be sent to ISS until a change of clothes can be provided.

Common Violations to Avoid:

1. No crop tops or midriff-baring shirts (jackets can't be used to cover them.)

2. No BLANKETS, pajama pants, or slippers.

3. No Athletic shorts. Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be no more than a dollar bill's length above the knee.

4. No hoods in the building.

Thank-you for helping us keep a positive and focused learning environment!

Wolfpack Reads – May Newsletter
Genre of the Month: ADVENTURE!

Dear Wolfpack Families,

May is here, and we’re excited to close out the school year with one of the most exciting genres—Adventure!

Adventure books are full of action, challenges, and journeys into the unknown. These stories often follow brave characters as they take risks, solve problems, and explore new places. Whether it’s surviving in the wild, going on a quest, or facing unexpected obstacles, adventure stories keep students engaged and thinking.

Keep Reading This Summer – Visit Your Local Public Library!

Although our school library will be closed for the year, we strongly encourage all students to visit a public library in our community this summer.

Public libraries offer:

• Free access to books, eBooks, and audiobooks

• Summer reading programs with prizes and incentives

• Fun activities, events, and learning opportunities

• A safe, quiet space for students to read and explore

Reading over the summer helps prevent the “summer slide,” where students can lose important reading skills. Students who continue reading are more confident, better prepared, and ready to start the next school year strong.

Even just 15–20 minutes of reading a day can make a big difference!

Library Inventory Reminder

Our library inventory begins May 1st, and we need your help!

Please:

• Check at home for any overdue library books

• Encourage your child to bring all books back to school as soon as possible

Returning books on time helps us keep our library organized and ensures all students have access to materials next year.

Chromebook Care Matters

We are also asking for your support with Chromebook care.

• Reminding your child to handle their Chromebook with care

• Avoiding bending screens or carrying devices improperly

• Keeping Chromebooks in a safe place when not in use

Your support truly makes a difference in helping us maintain working devices for all students.

Thank you for your continued support of our students, our library, and our Wolfpack community. Let’s finish the year strong—with great books and responsible habits!
