HUSKY HAPPENINGS
JANUARY 2023

Message From the Principal
The New Year brings with it hope and excitement for what is to come. Along with that comes goal setting. Throughout the next few weeks K-5 students and teachers will engage in discussion around goal setting and reflecting on their progress as they prepare to take the middle of the year MAP Growth Assessment. This online assessment is used to measure what your student knows and how they are growing in Reading and Mathematics.
We hope your family takes some time to know each other's aspirations and goals in ending this school year well.
It's going to be a fantastic semester!
Take care and be well,
Danis Boone, Principal

Power of Choice Conference
(Saturday, January 21, 2023 at the KMPC 9 AM- Noon)
“In our awesome district, we share a vision that every student enters with
a promise and exits with a pu rpose. By ensuring that every student has a clear
pathway to success, we are able to personalize learning for students and ensure
that all of our graduates have a bright future ahead of them.” (Dr. Jenny McGown)
This is a great opportunity to learn about the multiple choices that our students have to build their pathway to success!
The entire family is welcome to attend: The entire family can experience activities in the Pathway exploration area, hear from experts in each course, and reach out to school counselors to map their pathway to success.
If you have a student entering Intermediate School or High School, you won’t want to miss this opportunity.
There will be an exploration area where kids can work with students and try out some unique opportunities.
This is a come-and-go event: Families can choose to attend one or multiple sessions
