Thank You for a Great Math Night! 🐾✨

Thank You for a Great Math Night! 🐾✨

A big thank you to all our families who joined us for Family Math Night! Your energy, participation, and encouragement truly showed our wolves that math is everywhere and can be fun. 💡 With families and staff working together, the night was filled with learning, laughter, and connections,truly all adding up to success! 🧮💙 Thank you for being such an important part of our community and for supporting our wolves as they grow in confidence and curiosity with math.

Patriots Day 🇺🇸

This week, we pause to remember Patriots Day (September 11)—a day to honor the lives lost and the heroes who showed extraordinary courage. While it’s a day of remembrance, it’s also a great opportunity to celebrate community, kindness, and school spirit. On Thursday, September 11, all students and staff are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue as we stand together in kindness.

Attendance Matters 📅

Our attendance last week was 94%, just under our schoolwide goal of 95%. Every day of learning makes a difference! If your student is out sick, has a doctor’s appointment, or a planned vacation, please call or stop by the front office to place your child on Short-Term Independent Study. This keeps students on track with classwork and counts toward our attendance goals.

Triad Sign-Ups ✏️

On Tuesday afternoon, teachers will be sending out their Triad sign-up links for upcoming Triads, scheduled the week of September 22–25. Please note:

September 22–25 are minimum days, and
Friday, September 26 is a student-free day.

Please be sure to sign up with each of your child’s teachers. Middle school families will sign up with their homeroom teacher.

The purpose of the Triads is to build a strong school-home partnership. Parent(s), student, and teacher all take part in the conference. Students will have a prominent role in the conference so please make sure they attend with you

Together, we are building strong connections, celebrating kindness, and howling for success. 💙🐾

With appreciation,

Mrs. Valenta

NO Fast Food and Lunch Drop-Off Procedures

Fast food is not permitted at school as it goes against our wellness program. We kindly ask that you do your best not to send your student to school with fast food.

If your student forgets their lunch, please do not bring fast food to school, as we will not accept it in order to maintain compliance with our wellness policy. Instead, your student will have the option to enjoy a free, healthy school lunch.

If you need to drop off a lunchbox for your student, please note that we aim to minimize classroom disruptions. To help with this, please:

Clearly label your student’s name on the lunchbox.
Encourage your student to pick up their lunchbox during recess or on their way to the lunchroom.

Thank you for your understanding and support in promoting a healthy learning environment for all students.
