Parent Resource
The Parent/Teen Connect website that goes along with our Social-Emotional Learning curriculum is a great resource for parents. The link below will take you to a site that discusses parent-teen communication, and provides guidance for how to communicate effectively with your teenage child.
ParenTeen Connect - Communication
End of Quarter 1 is quickly approaching
The end of the 1st quarter is on Friday, November 2. Report cards will be mailed home near the end of the following week. Students will also receive a copy of their report card in their Homerooms on Friday, November 9th. They will analyze the results and teachers will guide students through a reflection of their own performance in the Homeroom period.
We pay close attention to student performance in our Puma Pride standards:
-Completes and returns work in a timely manner,
-Follows classroom expectations,
-Puts forth effort to complete work of high quality,
-Treats others with kindness,
-Follows school rules.
These are areas that correlate with academic success, and skills that employers are looking for in their employees. Having all scores at "Meets Expectations" (ME) is our goal for every student.

Parent-Teacher Conferences Start this Week
We are excited to welcome our families into school starting this Thursday for Parent/Teacher Conferences. Each family was mailed a scheduled time to meet with at least one of your child's teachers for either this coming Thursday (10/11) or next Thursday (10/18). If you are not sure of your scheduled time, please contact the office, and they'll let you know.
When you arrive for conferences, stop by the front office to pick up a folder for your child. The folder contains student progress information for you to review prior to entering the conference time with your child's teacher. This will give you an opportunity to spend more of the time in discussion and have questions ready for the teacher. We'll see you soon!
Referendum Information
For more information about the upcoming referendum vote in November, please visit the school's website. School board members and administrators will also be out front of the Piggly Wiggly this Saturday morning (8:30 - 11:30), and again the following Saturday. I will be available during conference time as well for any questions that you may have about the upcoming referendum question.
