Cunningham MS at South Park

I can't believe we are already in November and into holiday season. I want to take a moment and reflect on the incredible achievements and efforts our Wolves have already shown this school year. And, I want to reflect on how thankful we are for the parent and community support for all our events and the amazing things our Wolves are doing every day. This month brings with it many opportunities for learning, gratitude, and community engagement.

We are finishing up our 2nd 6 weeks this week and then will start our 3rd 6 weeks and end of the 1st semester. Please continue to check your child's grades and encourage students to attend tutorials and Saturday Quests. Take the moment to review your student's grades in HAC/GradeWay and ensure any missing assignments are turned in before the deadline. If you child is struggling, please request a parent conference. You can contact our parent liaison, abby.saucedo@ccisd.us, to set up a parent/teacher conference.

We continue to push our attendance. Our goal each day is 95% in attendance. Thank-you for prioritizing your child's education and ensuring they arrive at school at 8:45 am each morning. Breakfast is served at 8:30 am and doors open at 8:20 am. If your child is ever absent, please make sure to give the doctor's note or written excuse to Ms. Lopez within 10 days. Automatic messages

As we continue the school year, please help us remind our Wolves to always come to school prepared every day with their charged Chromebook, clear backpack, binder, and planner. We are an AVID demonstration school and we work hard to teach good organization and study skills. Binders are checked every Friday during our Wolf Time.

Thank-you always for your support.

Wishing everyone a joyful and restful November,

Rachel Neff-Rupp, Principal

Dear Families,

This month, our Wolfpack Readers are diving into Genre Exploration!

Students will explore different types of literature and identify what makes each genre unique.

Monthly Question:

What is the genre of your text? What characteristics of this genre does the author include in this

text? Support your answer with evidence from the story.

Our goal is to help students recognize the structure, style, and key elements of various literary

genres building stronger readers and critical thinkers!

�� Encourage Reading at Home

Please continue to encourage your child to read their library books daily.

Reading not only strengthens vocabulary and comprehension but also builds confidence and

critical thinking skills. Even 20 minutes a day can make a big difference in your child’s academic

success and overall love for learning!

�� Reminder: Emails are sent out every Monday for overdue books. Please remind your child to

return or renew their books on time so that all students can enjoy our wonderful library

collection.

�� Scholastic Book Fair – November 10th–14th

Get ready for our exciting Scholastic Book Fair in the library! This is the perfect time to shop for
