Hello Aquila Families!
This week will be marking the end of first semester. Throughout the changes and shifts in learning models, you have been there as partners. We appreciate YOU! Each teacher has created a schedule to meet with every family this week to talk about your child's learning progress towards grade level standards. Below you will find summary statements about the content that was taught in the first semester.
We are looking forward to the implementation of full day learning and the Distance Learning Academy. You can find a more detailed calendar of dates for this transition below. More information will come in the mail over the next few days, including student class placements. Bus information will be shared via an email and/or you can log into your PowerSchool Public Portal account. If your child is changing teachers, you will have the opportunity to connect with them on Tuesday, January 19.
I would also like to acknowledge that Monday, January 18 is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This is a day and time to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought. A time to remember his fight for the freedom, equality, and dignity of all races and peoples through nonviolence. Please take a moment with your child to talk about what his message means today.
Thank you for being on this journey with us! As always, please contact us with any comments or questions you may have.
