Weekly Parent Update

Hello Bobcat Families!

Happy Sunday! I love this time of year when the leaves are changing colors and we are reminded of the beauty we have in Oregon. We hope you had an amazing weekend and are looking forward to Spirit Week this week!

October Virtue

This month’s virtue is Safety. Staff members are on the lookout for students who are making safe choices and modeling this virtue throughout the month. We will announce our virtue winners at the end of the month!

Math/Science Night

We are so excited for this event! Please join us on November 7th from 5:30-6:30. We have some robots and drones from our High School team coming over to show our students! We will have math and science games for students to play and have a chance to win some prizes.

Academic Reviews

Hello Bobcat Families!

Parent communication is a priority to me when it comes to your child and their growth both academically and behaviorally. Since we decided to move conferences to February, we wanted to find a way to communicate concerns with families prior to then.

Sandy Grade will be holding Academic Reviews for students not meeting or making adequate progress towards grade level standards and end of year expectations on November 20th, 2024.

Academic Reviews will be an opportunity to touch base with the classroom teacher regarding academic growth and achievement, in addition to behavior for students that are of particular concern. These reviews are being scheduled by the classroom teacher and are only for students / families we are particularly concerned with.

It is important for your child’s future that you and your child attend. It’s a great opportunity to meet, brainstorm and communicate with the teacher about what your child has accomplished and what progress needs to be made during the school year.

Teachers will be sending you a notice of the times they have available that day soon.
