The Siegrist Star
Week of November 14, 2022
Veterans Day!!
“Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid.
They have earned our undying gratitude.”
-President Harry S. Truman
Siegrist Families,
Today is Veterans Day and we would like to send a big THANK YOU to our Veterans. This week we had the privilege of honoring our Veterans and active duty personnel.
Today we had a dedicated flag raising ceremony and on Wednesday we held assemblies and evening performances. During the assemblies and performances our 2nd grade students sang songs to thank our Veterans, activity duty personnel, fallen heroes and their families for their service and sacrifice.
Thank you for all that attended these special events and a special thanks to our music teacher, Mrs. Burnett and her student teacher, Ashley Ball and our Leadership Events Team who coordinated our Veterans Day assemblies and evening performances.
This week is another example of how special our PCR3 community is in supporting students and honoring our families.
Thank you,
Mrs. Johna-Kaye Sutton
2nd Grade Music Concert
Not only did our 2nd graders have two Veterans Day assemblies to perform, but they also had their 2nd Grade Music Concert to perform on the same day! They did a great job during all of their performances yesterday. Thank you to our music teacher, Mrs. Burnett and her student teacher, Ashley Ball for ALL the work that they have done to give all of us a great patriotic day!

Help Your Child Succeed In School
Partner with your child’s school
DID YOU KNOW?
Siegrist has both Fall and Spring conferences. Conferences were held this past Wednesday, Nov. 2 and Thursday, Nov. 3. If you did not schedule a conference please be proactive and partner with your child(ren’s) teacher for a conference. Conferences can be in person or virtual.
Positive message bus signs are in each of the school buses. October’s message was “You Matter!” and November’s message is “ Every Day….Every Grade…Every Student….Matters!” Positive bus signs rotate monthly.
Thank you for ensuring your child(ren) is at school. As you can see below all of the last three months were above the state goal of 90% of the students in attendance 90% of the time.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Continue to build a relationship with your child’s teachers….the entire staff are supporting students to help them achieve success.
Each student’s personal best looks different, don’t compare your child to another, or even children within the same household.
Student learning is a process, be patient and look for progress with your child’s learning. Students thrive on your interest, support and positive feedback.
Positive student-teacher relationships are necessary for student success.
Ask your student about his/her goals and inquire about their progress. Ask, “what can I do to help you achieve your goal?”
