Hello Thunderbird Nation!

It was great having parents and families on campus this week for conferences. The communication, sharing of information, and goal setting is only going to help our students move forward!

With Thanksgiving week next week, we hope that everyone has a safe and restful holiday! Please remember that some of our school routines could easily fit into this week. Please continue to read with your student each day. If you have guests visiting, having them read with the student is a great way to spend a little of the time together. Also, remember to ask you student aobut their day even when it is not a school day. Showing interestin their life and asking them to share things like this with you grows in importance as your kids get older.

• Next Week

• No School 11/20-11/24 for Thanksgiving Recess

• Upcoming

• Thunderbird Assemblies 11/29

Have a great week!

Have an extraordinary week!

Have your best week yet!
