Warrior Family Newsletter
Week of August 15
Welcome Back to School Week
We recognize that our Warriors need support from home and school to be successful in life. We know a strong partnership with you will make a significant difference in your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our Warrior’s success and want you to know that we happily work towards making sure your child feels loved and knows that he/she can achieve anything they set their mind to. We ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that they:
- Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience
- Completes all homework assignments given by teachers
- Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills
- Do their daily I-Ready Reading and Math
- Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of their school life
- Knows that you expect them to succeed in school
Please consider joining our school WOSA organization, as our students can greatly benefit from your involvement and contributions to the school’s program and operations. In addition, we seek volunteers to help us out with school wide-events. Please take a few minutes to complete the volunteer survey. We need every family to assist us with at least 10 hours of volunteer service this year.
