Warrior Connection - March 1
March 2
March always feels a little contradictory. In some ways, it’s hard to believe we are already here. In other ways, this is the month I look forward to every year. The signs of spring begin to appear, and we see tremendous growth in our students — academically, socially, and emotionally. At the same time, spring brings a bit of restlessness. We are all ready for sunshine, fresh air, and more movement. With just three weeks until spring break, and the final stretch of the school year quickly approaching after that, these truly are some of my favorite months at West Minico.
A few important reminders:
6th Grade Maturation
Maturation will take place on Wednesday, March 4 at 2:15 PM. Parents are welcome to attend with their student if they wish.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Conferences are next week. On Thursday, West Minico will dismiss at 1:45 PM (two-hour early release). Conferences will begin at 4:00 PM. Please do not arrive prior to 4:00, as teachers will be unavailable during that time. Friday conferences will run from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM.
Finally, this next reminder may sound simple, but it is important. We have seen an increase in students not keeping their hands to themselves — including pushing, shoving, hitting, and inappropriate physical contact. Even when students view it as playful, it creates unsafe and uncomfortable environments for others. As a school, we will be addressing this directly with students and reinforcing expectations around personal space and safety. We appreciate your support in having conversations at home about keeping hands to themselves and respecting others’ boundaries.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we head into this busy and exciting season of the school year.

Attendance is one of the strongest predictors of student success. When students are in school consistently, they build stronger relationships, stay engaged in learning, and avoid the stress of trying to catch up on missed work. Even a few absences each month can quickly add up and impact academic progress.
Our goal is for every student to maintain at least 90% attendance each semester — no more than 7 absences per semester or 4 per quarter. We understand that illnesses and emergencies happen, but whenever possible, please prioritize having your child at school, on time, and ready to learn.
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure our students are present, engaged, and on track for success.
