✏️Panda's in Action
We have made it through September, and what a wonderful September it was! Our students have wrapped up with Beginning of the Year assessments, and are hitting the ground running with their learning. Interims should be coming home for students with areas of growth this week, and teachers are working on scheduling First Quarter Conferences. If your teacher has not reached out to schedule this conference, be on the look out soon for this communication.
Don't forget to check out our October Events Calendar at the end of this message for all the great fall events we have this month!
Let's make October great!
Mr. Blount and Mr. Cook
🎒Attendance Matters
Did you know that missing even one day of school can result in students missing up to 120 minutes of reading and writing instruction? While it is important to keep students home when they are sick, making school attendance a priority is KEY to a child's academic success!
