"We are a joyful community that is inclusive and guides children toward curiosity, resilience, and compassion."



Dear Families,


Success

  • Winter Wellness has many opportunities this year and everything is free for all students! That means skiing includes equipment and lessons at Bolton, skating includes skates and a helmet! If you have your own equipment, your child can use that as well. This is a great opportunity for our students and we appreciate the community support with this endeavor.

  • On Tuesday, we had an inservice with a focus on Humanity and Justice. Staff were asked to dedicate their work to a student that they believed was the furthest from justices. The professional time was valuable and we appreciate the support from families that make days like this possible.



New Learning

  • Given some technical glitches with Infinite Campus, our report cards will be delayed by a week. Instead of mailing them out on Friday, January 26th, we will mail them on Friday, February 2nd. Please see below for more details.



Logistics

  • All schools in WCUUSD will be asking for families to share their child's school experience and I am looking forward to hearing what you think. Next week, I will share the climate survey with you via email. It's been several years since Rumney has had a climate survey and your feedback will be valuable.


Respectfully Yours,

Karoline May

Report Cards! Report Cards!

This year you will notice a few changes in your student's report card. We have expanded our reporting in literacy in order to provide families with more information about how students are doing relative to our expectations in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. We hope that these changes provide a more detailed picture of students' current performance and reflect the emphasis that we place on literacy during the elementary years.


We also revised the format of the report card so that our teachers' comments are more prominent. Our teachers spend a lot of time thoughtfully writing comments for each student, and we want to make sure that they are evident to families.


We generate our report cards through Infinite Campus, our student information system. We wish that we could enlarge the font and make some other formatting changes, but we are currently unable to do so.


We continuously examine our practices related to teaching and learning, and communicating with students and families about student performance is one aspect of this practice. The school climate survey contains some questions about the report card. We welcome your feedback and will use it to inform our future work.


For your convenience, the WCUUSD Guide to the Elementary Report Card is linked here.



Report cards will be mailed home on Friday, February 2.
