A Message from the Principal
Happy Tuesday Wildcat Families,
It has been a great start to the 2nd semester at Weiss! Our students have wrapped up their testing and are getting back into their normal classroom routines. It was great to see so many successes that our students have shown in their academic and behavioral achievements since the start of the year! Your child's report card was sent home yesterday. Please make sure you had a chance to review that before sending the signed envelope back to school. We started this week off by showcasing our responsible and grateful students from January and then started learning more about a Growth Mindset. Here are a couple of great resources to watch and talk about at home to help your child develop a Growth Mindset:
We will be highlighting one student from each class at the end of the month that has gone above and beyond in showing a Growth Mindset.
There are a lot of important dates and things to remember in the coming months! Please continue to check your Parent Square for important news and reminders. I added a few reminders down below.
Thanks for continuing to partner with us at Weiss! We look forward to an amazing 2nd semester with all of you!
Your partner in Education,
Mr. Bezeau
Principal
