Hello Bobcat Families!
Hello Bobcat Families!

We were so happy to have our students back to school this last week! We enjoyed getting back into routine and watching our students continue their learning. 
 
Rainy/Cold Weather
The temperatures have been dropping! Please help us keep our students warm and dry by making sure to send them with a warm jacket, preferably one that is waterproof and with a hood. We also highly recommend that you put their first and last name on it so if it is lost, it can easily be reunited with them. If you need assistance with this please let us know, we have some extra jackets that have been donated to us.
 
January Virtue
The virtue for January is responsible. ​Our staff will be on the lookout for students being responsible in the classroom, at recess and in the cafeteria.
 
Mid-Year Assessments
Acadience and iReady assessments are starting this week. We will be assessing students to see their growth in both reading and math. Please make sure your students come to school (unless sick) this month to ensure we get all the testing completed prior to report cards. We are excited to see the growth they have made so far this year! Please encourage your children to take their time and do their personal best. We will use this information to track their progress as well as observe areas each student may need extra support. 

Conferences are right around the corner, so be on the lookout for a sign up sheet to come through ParentSquare.
 
Student Vaccine Clinics
Student Vaccine Clinics
Orchid Health in Sandy is having a few student vaccine clinics for any students still needing immunizations. Just a reminder, immunization exclusion day is February 19th.
