Restarting Cathcart Community Events
And we are working hard to restart other Cathcart community programs. We have scheduled six short 20-minute music concerts for May, and our awesome Cathcart Parent Organization is planning for a Spring Carnival to celebrate Cathcart's Centennial. We have the Valley View Middle School Band and Choir coming for an assembly and we are going to have Field Day. And Watchdogs are coming back to Cathcart.
By the way, you might have heard that our popcorn maker was broken and wouldn't stop popping corn so we had to give free popcorn to all Cathcart students Thursday. Thank you CPO! And the weather is nice enough that the kids can eat outside picnic style on nice days. We love a Spring day at Cathcart!
Parent Input Welcome for 2022-23
We are in the process of preparing classes for the 2022-23 school year. Our goal is to create classes that are balanced based on student strengths and needs. Report card grades, teacher input, parent input and state test scores are used to assure that we are creating balanced classes.
In addition, we look to shuffle classes from one grade level to the next to assure that students continually have an opportunity to work with new students. Cathcart teachers will review each class list thoroughly and will carefully consider how students work together and we will make adjustments to the class lists.
As we start the student placement process, we welcome parent input into this process. If there are specific needs or past history that should be considered and may contribute to the success of your student, we want to consider that information in the placement process. Our goal is to create the most balanced classes as possible while meeting student needs and will take all input into consideration. Please send your input to mike.anderson@sno.wednet.edu no later than Friday, April 15th.
Thank you – We are looking forward to another great year!
