Weekly Instructional Highlights
In her efforts to foster student discourse, Ms.Flethcers incorporates the Give One, Get One strategy in her lessons. This collaboration offers her students the opportunity to use prior knowledge, share and validate others’ ideas, use academic language, as well as practice norms for constructive conversations as they gain content knowledge. Furthermore, Ms. Fletcher uses the wheel to randomly select partners for each round, enabling students to work with different partners. Thank you, Ms. Fletcher!!!

What is a Needs Assessment for Schools Used for?
A parents' needs assessment gives our school direct insight into what our families value most for their children's education and well-being. By sharing your feedback, you help guide how we allocate school funding toward essential programs, instructional tools, and support services. This collaborative process ensures our budget directly reflects our community's top priorities and diverse student needs. We encourage every family to participate so your voice helps shape our school's investments for the upcoming year!

November Traffic Safety Tips
As we approach the busy holiday season, let's work together to keep our students, families, and neighbors safe. With shorter daylight hours and increased traffic, it's important to stay alert and practice safe walking and driving habits.
Here are a few safety reminders:
- Stay visible and alert. Use sidewalks and crosswalks, wear bright or reflective clothing, and avoid distractions while walking.
- Slow down and watch for pedestrians. Drivers should use extra caution near schools, intersections, and bus loading zones.
- Take extra precautions after dark. Stay aware of your surroundings, especially during early morning and evening hours.
Please review the attached November Traffic Safety Tips and share these important reminders with your family.
Thank you for helping keep our school community safe!
Imclement Weather Preparness
As we prepare for possible rainy days, our school will be open and ready to welcome your student.
The school gate open with our before school partners Beyond the Bell at 6:15 am. Please make appropriate plans to arrive early to avoid traffic during student drop off. An umbrella and rain clothes will help your student stay dry and be ready to learn.
Please remember we need your support to help your student be successful in school. Each day students are absent, they miss critical instructional time. Excellent attendance remains our school and district priority.
Thank you.
