Dear Parents,
With term 2 beginning, we know it is an opportunity to start fresh and help our students be successful.
Attendance is one of the most powerful predictors of academic achievement. Please log into Skyward and check your child’s attendance daily. Students do best when teachers, counselors, administrators, and parents encourage students to be in class.
Most of all, we miss your students when they are not at school. We need all our students to make unique contributions to our school community that only they can bring!
Also, for all our future Aviators out there, please come to the school tonight for our Trick or Treat the Terminals at 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm! Our students will make our terminals (halls) spooky and will pass out candy to the children. There is a minimal charge for a dollar per child to help cover costs!
Finally, please help your students learn from their mistakes. Here is the Jet Time Video our students watched this morning titled, Learning From Our Mistakes! Please watch this powerful video with your family to help them learn and grow! My entire family loves watching these!!!
Please make note of the following:
1. First Term Grades, Thursday, 10-21
Grades will be available on the Skyward Student Portfolio page.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your teachers.
2. School Breakfast/Lunch Food Options
Our lunch manager met with our administration team and discussed how various food shortages are making student lunch options problematic. Things like hamburgers may not even be something we can offer for a while even if they are on the district menu.
Our lunch team is doing its best to provide food for the largest number of students in the district. I am so impressed with their creative solutions to feeding so many students. If you see a lunch service provider, please tell them how much you appreciate their service.
3. Safety Update
Our next drill will be on Tuesday, October 26 during A1. It will be a combination of “Hold, Secure (formerly Lockout), and Lockdown.
4. Winter Team information meeting tonight, Monday 10/25th @ 7 pm
If your child is involved in a winter sport, please attend the meeting tonight! If you have a student who would like to try out for girls’ or boys’ basketball or wrestling, please join us tonight in the auditorium. Go, AVIATORS!
5. Halloween @ Harry’s [Harry Potter] in the Media Center
Monday- Photo booth with Harry Potter Costume for all shapes and sizes. Bring your friends by the media center to a) Swing by the media center to allow the Sorting Hat to assign you to your House of Hogwarts. Then hit up the Potter Photo booth. You can help yourself to wizarding costumes for a post-able photo in front of platform 9 3/4. Photo booth starts today and goes until this Friday in the media center.
Tuesday – Harry Potter sent us some chocolate frogs via Owl Post. The Media Center has a magical scavenger hunt that will send you through the muggle books to see if you can win a chocolate delight from Honey dukes. And, of course, enjoy Harry Potter’s Photo booth.
Thursday – It’s Hot Cocoa at Harry’s day. Swing by for a cup of Harry’s Hot Cocoa in the media center. And one last chance to hit up the Harry Potter photo booth.
