Happy December!

As we prepare for the end of the semester, I wanted to make you aware of a couple of things. Students will receive semester grades in January when we return. Should their current grades be less than what they would hope, they have several opportunities coming up to work with their teachers to raise their grades and complete assignments. For the next two Wednesdays, LAB time will be used to focus on support in specific core subjects (Social Studies and Language Arts next Wednesday and Math and Science the following week). Students who do not need additional support will be participating in fun activities. On Monday, December 19th, we will have an assembly schedule and our final day of all classes. On Tuesday, December 20th, students who have earned As, Bs, and Cs in all of their classes do not need to attend. Students who have Ds and Fs will have another opportunity that day to work with teachers and get support to raise their grades and complete assignments. As always, please reach out if you have any questions about how to help your child be successful in their classes. See below for a slide show about what is going on in each of our classes right now.

If you're looking for some ways to improve communication with your children or would just like a refresher on how to best talk with your teen, the wonderful Shaun Richey, our social-emotional learning specialist, will be providing a workshop on December 8th from 6-7:15 pm. The workshop will be presented remotely in conjunction with Jefferson County Public Health. More information and a link to sign up can be found later in this newsletter.

Our information night is next Monday, December 5th! We are excited to share about our school with 5th-grade and other prospective Everitt families! I will also continue to give tours to families every Wednesday at 1:00 pm (or at other times by request). It has been so wonderful to meet your friends and neighbors as they come for a tour. Please let them know that families are also welcome to reach out to a counselor to schedule a shadow day for their child.

Thank you for supporting and believing in your neighborhood school. It is our privilege to partner with you!
