Randall Weekly Update - Week 35
🌷💖🌷Mothers Day
To all of the Mothers, Grandmothers and Mother figures of our students at Randall:
As Mother’s Day approaches, I must take a moment on behalf of the entire staff and student body to express our most sincere thanks for everything you do! The early mornings, late nights, finding lost shoes, delivering the forgotten lunches, volunteering your time, attending school events - nothing goes unnoticed. We also want to recognize that the role of "mother" takes many beautiful forms. To the stepmothers, grandmothers, aunts, foster mothers, and older sisters who step up to nurture and guide our students - we see you, and we celebrate you as well. The warmth and strength you bring to your families flow into our classrooms, making our school community a better, more compassionate place.
We wish you a joyful, restful, and very Happy Mother’s Day!
💻💯💻iReady Spring Diagnostic
Our final iReady Diagnostic for the year is next week. This final assessment is a wonderful opportunity for us to measure and celebrate exactly how much your child has grown academically over the course of the school year. To help them feel prepared and confident, please remind your child to fully charge their Chromebook the night before testing so they can dive right in without any technical interruptions. Additionally, I ask that you take a moment to encourage them to simply give their absolute best effort. Remind them that this test isn't about getting a perfect score, but rather about showing off all the hard work and new skills they have mastered this year. Thank you as always for your continued support from home in helping us finish the year strong!
🌴🔆🌴Teacher Appreciation Week
Thank you to our amazing PTC for throwing our staff a tropical, week-long celebration. From creating our own hula skirts, enjoying cookies from the School Board, finding sunglasses to claim a prize, to eating a Hawaiian feast of a lunch - we went all out to honor and acknowledge the daily efforts of our educators to ensure our students are learning and growing at high levels each and every day. We love our teachers!
👟🏃👟Spring Cleaning
The PE department is looking for some gently used tennis shoes for students to borrow when they forget it's a gym day and wear their sandals or crocs to school. All sizes are appreciated, but currently in need of big kids sizes 6 and up. Just send them to school in a bag labeled for Mrs. Pearce. Thanks so much for your help!
I look forward to continue working with you and our students throughout the 2025-26 school year. It is my goal to be as clear and supportive as possible. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at agarcia@randall.k12.wi.us with any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Alexandra Garcia-Bankowski
Principal
