October has been a blur and is nearly over! We have started the second nine weeks hitting the ground running. Next week we will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week and having Fall Parties. If you plan to attend fall parties and bring snacks for your students class, please remember all snacks must be store bought and homemade snacks are NOT allowed. Please check with your students teacher for when their party will begin. We hope you can make it to your students classrooms and celebrate with them. Reminder that if your student plans to wear their costume on Thursday, they cannot wear a mask, any costumes with excessive gore, or bring toys/weapons.

This week we sent home report cards. Some of you may have received them digitally and some may also have come home with your students. Kindergarten and 1st grade students use a Standards Based grading scale. Below is the grading scale for kindergarten and 1st grade:

Developing (1)- Students at the developing level need the most support to master the objective.
Approaching (2)- Students at the approaching level need some support to master the objective.
Understanding (3) - Students at the understanding level can demonstrate mastery of the objective.
Extending (4) - Students at the extending level have mastered the objective and can go deeper.

Specials classes (Art, PE, Outdoor Ed, etc.) use the following grading scale:

SA- Satisfactory

US- Unsatisfactory

E- Exceeding

If you have any questions about your students report card grades, please contact your students teacher. I hope you all enjoy your weekend and we will see you back on Monday for a FUN week of school!

First grader, Ashton, cashed in his reward to read to the Principal on Monday! Ashton read a book to Mr. D, Mrs. Berlier and Ms. Norris. We were delighted to have him read to us and celebrate his success. Ashton was also rewarded with a positive phone call home and a special pencil. Way to go!
