January 2021- hybrid updates
Hybrid Restart
I just wanted to remind our families that hybrid has started this week. Students are returning to school on their assigned days (Either M/T if they are AA days or Th/F if they are BB days).
Transportation is working to add stops to the routes for those returning to us this morning. We are doing our best to help answer any questions regarding pick up times and drop off times. You can use transportations website to look up bus times, but we are also willing to help you locate that information as well.
Report Cards
Report cards will be coming home on Monday, January 25th with A students, January 28th with B students, and will be emailed for virtual students. However, parents that have access to Parent Portal can access their child's report cards at the end of the week.
Students will be starting fresh for the 3rd quarter, and is a great time to start new routines to make sure work is completed and submitted. We will be reaching out to set up a plan for any students who have multiple missing assignments and are in jeopardy of failing. We want every student to be successful and that begins with participation and work completion.
2021-2022 Kindergarten registration UPDATES
New Haven will also be handling the registration process for families who have kindergarteners attending Steeplechase Elementary next year.
Upcoming student assessments
Some students will be taking the SAVVAS Math test (similar to Envision quick-checks)
Students 2-5th will be taking the CASE standards assessment in reading and math beginning February 1st through the 12th. Teachers will decide when each of their homerooms will assess.
Virtual students will have small meets scheduled so that the teachers can administer the assessments on-line. They will be communicating that to you and your children in the coming weeks.
Covid reporting
PTA
Welcome
We would like to welcome Lindsey Desjardin as our new PTA president! We are excited for her to have her leadership along with all of the other parents who have volunteered their time this year.Website

Fundraiser
A big thank you to all the families that supported NH at our "Canes' Night. It was a great success!
General Meeting
The PTA will be having a general board meeting on January 20th at 7:00 pm to celebrate those students who were chosen to be recognized by their teachers. There will be a zoom link posted for all who would like to attend. There will be a slideshow link for families who cannot attend. During the board meeting executive board members will share the current budget, activities, and planned events. At the December board meeting, the board did discuss the advantages and disadvantages of transitioning from a PTA status to a PTO. Dissolution was approved to be taken to the general membership.We are notifying all families in our community who are or are not members. Anyone can attend the meetings. That meeting will be held on March 10th. More than likely that too will be a zoom meeting due to restrictions, but if it changes notification will be sent out to families and well as publicized.
Student Food Bags
The process of requesting the food bags has remained the same. You can find the order form on the Boone County Schools webpage or click the link below. If you have any questions regarding the meals you can speak with our cafe manager Kay Rodgerson.
