Each month, I will highlight one content area with information on what your child is learning in school and how you can support them at home. This month's content area focus is Reading and Writing! Please look for your child(ren)'s grade level and look how you can continue to support and help them.

Our Freedom Falcons are SOARing with their PRIDE expectations throughout the building. We are happy to announce our new FES Pledge:

I am a Freedom Falcon

I Choose to SOAR with PRIDE

by having a Positive attitude,

showing Respect to all,

having Integrity,

Doing the right thing,

and giving Effort towards learning.

I Choose to SOAR.

It’s National Thank You Month! Thank You Month is an opportunity to spread kindness by thanking all the people who’ve helped us along the way.

To kick off Thank You Month, we want to thank you for your dedication. Every day, you encourage your student to learn and grow. You are a major reason for the success of our students, and it’s an honor to serve your family.

We encourage you to spend some time this January thinking about what you’re thankful for and express gratitude for those who have helped you. Help from others is so appreciated and, at times, needed. If you or a family member needs extra support, Bullitt County Schools partnered with Care Solace to support the well-being of students and their family members. If you or a family member are looking for help with mental health or substance use treatment and would like to use Care Solace to help you find a provider:

• Call 888-515-0595. Multilingual support is available 24/7/365.

Thank you again for your dedication to your students and this community.
