Dear Robert Hunter families,
Results of state and district assessments have recently been shared with families. This information has also been shared with staff, and we are working to identify areas of strength and areas in need of improvement, as we tailor instruction to meet the diverse needs of our school community. Robert Hunter teachers worked together during our last Professional Development Day on Oct. 18th to analyze assessment data and collaborate on how to best support student learning. We are looking forward to a great year of growth for all of our students.
This past week ended with an amazing Walkathon! Students proudly radiated respect as they walked around our blacktop and danced with Robbie Raccoon. They created class posters that showed what respect and kindness means to them. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers who organized and helped with this great event!
Mrs. Fontanez and Mrs. Severino also met with each grade level this past week to discuss more about respect, including examples of encouraging words to use with peers. The kids came up with some great ideas, and we are so proud of how kindness is growing within our school community.
Have a great week!
Warm regards,
Jessica Braynor and Lindsay Shirvanian
