APRIL FAMILY TALK
April Family Talk
The final FastBridge Assessment window for the 2023-2024 school year will run from April 15 to May 10. Encourage your child to give their best effort and show what they’ve learned this year in reading and math!
As we prepare for the end of the year, I would love your help! Our May Family Talk will highlight some ways you can think about and plan for summer and I want to know exactly what you want to know. Please complete this Google Form to answer a couple of quick questions and leave feedback about what would be helpful to your family. Thank you in advance for taking the time to do this!
Family Support for Success
We are nearing the end of the semester and the VERY LAST opportunity to connect with one-on-one support! Sign up now to make sure you don’t miss your chance.

Some ideas about topics to discuss are:
understanding grades or assessments
how to establish routines and habits at home
how to best support your child’s learning
behavior and responsibility

COUNSELOR'S CORNER
AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION HEART BALL AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
Ambassadors are a group of selected high school sophomores who participate in educational and social programs and activities. The Ambassadors will be presented at the American Heart Association's Heart Ball. The activities will occur during the 2024- 2025 school year.
The Ambassador program is intended to be fun and prepare young leaders to be future heart advocates. Becoming an ambassador is an excellent resume builder, since these young men and women have the opportunity to learn valuable leadership development skills and network with peers. Attending the required sessions will equate to community services hours earned. (1.5 hour per session)
