Greetings Cougar Families!
We wrapped up CMAS and CoGat testing for our students last week. Our kids rocked it and persevered!! We are proud of our students daily. Please be sure that your students are on time to school and attending daily as we are approaching end-of-year benchmark testing for all of our students. It is important that your students report to school if they were absent for CMAS testing as this week is our last week for make-ups.
Please be sure to look in your student's backpack daily and check your Remind app for communication from the school and your student's teacher. Students have nightly homework. Please support them in completing homework and reading nightly.

Habits of Success Focus: Academic Tenacity
ROARS Focus: Attitude
The skill of Academic Tenacity helps our students in the following ways:
Persist in a task despite setbacks and distractions
Figure out when a strategy isn't working for me, and choose a different strategy to keep me moving toward my goals
Work hard on something once I've committed to doing it
Finish what I start
Remain engaged over the long haul
Circle Prompts:
- What kind of attitude do you have when you fail or experience a setback?
- How does your attitude effect the way you overcome setbacks?
- What strategies can you use when facing distractions at school or home?
- How can you avoid being a distraction to others during learning time?
- Share two strategies that you use to keep going in situations where learning is hard.
- Why is it important to finish what you have started?
- What is something that was hard for you that is now easy?
- How can a negative attitude impact others in our learning community?
