Huntington Highlights

Our 3rd graders worked so hard this week on the Ohio State ELA Assessment, and we are so proud of their effort and determination! They put their best foot forward and showed all that they have learned. A big thank-you to our families for helping ensure students came to school rested, prepared, and ready to do their best. Your support makes a difference! Assessment results are expected to be available sometime in December.

Former Huntington students, Abby Vojtus and Aubrey Kraly, make their Beat debuts with articles about our very own Mrs. D and Mrs. Ciccozzi!

As we head into the second quarter, we want to emphasize the importance of consistent attendance. Every school day matters! Being at school each day helps students maintain strong routines, develop friendships, and stay engaged in their learning. Thank you for your continued partnership in making school attendance a priority and supporting your child's success.

During the month of November and December, our Second Step Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons will focus on Empathy. Empathy is feeling and understanding how someone else is feeling. Next week Kindergarten and First week will start their Empathy lesson.
