Burkholder: The Jag Wire
Week of January 25-29, 2021
From the Student Success Office (SSO):
Dear Burkholder Families,
Thank you for being incredible partners in educating our children. Building our social-emotional learning skills is an important goal for our school this year as we work together through this Pandemic and the challenges of distance learning.
We will be asking for your child to reflect on their own mindsets and approaches to learning via an online survey they will be completing during class. The survey shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes to complete. 7th graders will take theirs during 1st period on January 25th, and 8th graders will take theirs during 1st period on February 1st.
The survey content will ask students to self-reflect on their positive feelings, challenging feelings, supportive relationships, and how they view themselves as learners.
We are asking that all of our students participate in the surveys, as their responses will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how we can improve and adapt our school’s response to their needs. If a student doesn’t feel like they have enough information to answer a question, they will be able to skip the item altogether. The responses to these surveys will be completely confidential.
If you have any questions about the SEL survey, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 702-799-8080 ext. 4202
Your partner in education,
Jessica Maleskey
Assistant Principal

Hello Jaguars!
It's hard to believe that the time is almost here for us to begin course planning for next school year! Ms. Cady and Mrs. Bush will be visiting 6th and 7th grade classrooms beginning February 8th to help with your course selections for next year.
Basic High School and Foothill will be working with 8th graders as they transition to high school beginning mid February.
For all Jaguars, once we have finalized the course planning schedule we will notify you. Please feel free to reach out to your School Counselor with any questions or concerns about courses for next year. Mrs. Bush can be reached at bushjl@nv.ccsd.net for all current 7th grades and 6th graders A-L and Ms. Cady at Cadymj@nv.ccsd.net for all current 8th graders and 6th graders M-Z.
