Greetings Eagles!
I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving Holiday!! I hope you are re- energized and ready for the 2nd half of the school year. It has certainly been a challenging year in dealing with the Covid 19 pandemic. So many of the ways we do things have changed. Our number 1 goal remains keeping every student and staff member safe by following all of the CDC guidelines. Many of our RSPA cultural norms will have to wait until next year.
December is going to be a great month! We have several events planned to bring the joy factor for our CV scholars. Unfortunately, we postponed our infamous Production until the spring semester. However, we will continue as many traditions as we can to showcase our talented scholars and make school a place they love to come to and hate to leave.
We continue to work toward building literacy in all academic areas with our scholars. I am hopeful that all our families will help to support our efforts in improving the reading and writing skills of our scholars. The scholars know their reading levels and are being challenged to grow each month. We have a new Phonics Today program that’s amazing. Please listen to your scholar read everyday and sign their Reading Logs! We have partnered with Book It and your child will receive a free pizza coupon after reading 20 books/chapters or 200 minutes.
School attendance matters! In an effort to promote perfect attendance, all scholars with perfect attendance for the semester will be invited to the “Perfect Attendance Party”. Thanks to your dedication our attendance is above state level of 97% everyday.
Before we know it, the holiday break in December will be upon us. I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season!
