Greetings Husky Families
Happy New Year!!!! Welcome to 2025. We trust and hope that you had a wonderful Winter break. In the next couple of weeks, you will witness the ending of our 2nd quarter of learning (quarter 2 ends on Thursday, January 17th with report cards going home on Friday, January 24th).
Starting the week of January 13th, our K-8 students will begin their middle of the year testing for iReady (Kinder through 2nd grades) and Star360 (3rd-8th grades). Homeroom teachers will alert you of the actual testing dates for their students.
With the start of our school year comes the opportunity to set goals. Which leads us to our theme for the month of January (Goal setting/Growth Mindset). Stay tuned for lots of opportunities for your students to set goals and grow their minds during this month. To assist you in bringing this theme to life, here are a few grade band texts:
Pre-K through 2nd grades:
- Jabari Jumps - Gaia Cornwall
- Whistle for Willie - Ezra Jack Keats
- The Thing Lou Couldn't Do - Ashley Spires
3rd through 5th grades:
- My Strong Mind - Neils Van Hove
- I Can't Do That, Yet - Esther Pia Cordova
- What Do You Do With a Chance? - Kobi Yamada
6th through 8th grades:
- The Garbage King - Elizabeth Laird
- The Skin I'm In - Sharon Flake
- George - Alex Gino
There are a number of events happening on campus during the month of January. Please review the monthly calendar that will be sent home this week or our website for details.
Have an amazing week.
