The Wave - January 21, 2022

A message from Megan Elston

Happy Friday! Our students wrapped up their first round of Winter MAP testing this week, either in reading or math. The next round begins on Jan. 31st. The MAP test is helpful to teachers as it shows growth for each individual student. It can also help us plan for reinforcing certain areas in math or reading that a whole class or small group may need. As a reminder, these reports will be sent home with winter term report cards.

I hope you will join us on Zoom next Thursday evening for our State of the School meeting. We will check in on Outdoor School and 4/5 Week, the upcoming Independent Project season, and updated mitigation efforts regarding COVID-19. There is a Zoom link the information section

I want to thank all of our families who have been incredibly communicative with our health team here at school. We are experiencing a few more absences than typical, but we are seeing our mitigation efforts working at school. Thank you for continuing to partner with us as we make it through yet another chapter of this pandemic.

Have a great weekend and we will see the students on Monday for a five-day week.

Counseling Corner

Next week TRCS will join over 33,000 schools and nearly 17 million students worldwide, in the Great Kindness Challenge. The program is committed to creating a culture of kindness and compassion in communities. We will encourage students to complete as many acts of kindness as possible at school and hope they feel inspired to continue them at home. Together, we will lift each other up, cheer each other on, and demonstrate that KINDNESS MATTERS.
