We've had a great week of learning & are looking forward to having families on campus next week at our annual Living Wax Museum!
Please join us as your student (pk-5) shares their learning and takes the role of an important figure in history. Our pre-k, kinder, & first classrooms will share information on their group projects while our 2nd-5th classrooms will showcase their individual projects.
Pre-k--2nd grade students present 5:30pm--6:00pm; 3rd-5th grade students present 6:00pm-6:30pm. If you have any questions about this event, please contact your student's teacher.
Parent Support Session:
Need help with: accessing your student's grades, connecting to Class Dojo, setting up Beanstack, setting up notifications for student grades, or getting your student's Read-A-Thon account started? Join us, from 5:15pm-6:30pm on Thursday, February 19th (during the Living Wax Museum event), in the library. Mrs. Kinney, our media technology specialist, will be available to help you connect! Please bring the electronic device you use at home to access your student's school information.
Read-A-Thon--Starts NEXT WEEK!
Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more. Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday February 16, 2026.
The week before our Read-A-Thon starts, we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress. We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/oGNrpS/1?utm=email and following the simple instructions.
We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills. We hope EVERYONE participates!
Living Wax Museum:
We are honored to recognize Black History Month with our students as they present their research on a historical figure, of their choosing, at our Living Wax Museum on Thursday, February 19, 2025, from 5:30pm-6:30pm. See the flyer below for more details. Contact your child's teacher if you have any additional questions. Please make plans to join us!
